The Lady Mt. Lions of TCHS traveled to Franklin last Tuesday for a regional matchup with the Pendleton County Lady Wildcats. Tucker jumped out early and often, amassing a 15-point lead in the first period at 19-4. Tucker continued to dominate both sides of the ball and control the pace of the game, which was to speed up their opponent and force turnovers.
Tucker held a 36-9 advantage at the break and really put the game away in the third period, dropping 24 points on the Wildcats, who had yet to score double digits in a single quarter, as the Mt. Lions moved ahead 60-18. With the game well in hand, Tucker was able to take their foot off the gas and cruise to a 69-32 victory.
