Honey Bears get back on winning track

The Gueydan Honey Bears entered the game last night against Ascension Episcopal on a two game district losing streak.

The Honey Bears were able to put the losing streak behind them as they defeated AES 44-36.

The first quarter saw the Honey Bears just trying to maintain.

AES was able to take a small lead, but by the end of the quarter the Honey Bears were able to tie it back up at 10 all.

The second quarter was much of the same for the Honey Bears.

AES would take a small lead and then Gueydan would have to come back, but unlike the first quarter, the Honey Bears could not tie it up at the end of the quarter, and went in to halftime down 22-20.

Coming out of the break the Honey Bears played like a team that wanted to win.

The offense came out and put up 12 points.

Even though the offense picked up their game it was the defense that made the most drastic improvement.

The Honey Bears defense only allowed AES to score six points in the third quarter, giving Gueydan the 32-28 advantage heading into the fourth quarter.

In the final quarter, the Honey Bears were able to pull away as the offense once again put up 12 points, and the defense this time only allowed eight, giving Gueydan the 44-36 victory.

Kylie Crochet led the Honey Bears in scoring, by scoring a team high 11 points.

Sheridan Guidry was not far behind Crochet as she was able to add eight points to the Honey Bears final tally.

Nya Boudreaux and T’nia Leger were both able to score six points.
