Lay Patriots, Lady Bobcats face off in a district match-up

The North Vermilion Lady Patriots are traveling to Erath to take on the Lady Bobcats tonight.

The last time these two teams met was way back in November at the beginning of the season in the Lady Pats Invitational.

The Lady Bobcats had the upper hand back then with a 26-24 victory.

They are hoping they can continue that success over North Vermilion.

The Lady Bobcats enter this game on a two game winning streak.

One of those wins was over district rival West St. Mary.

If the Lady Bobcats are going to get their second win over the Lady Patriots they are going to need a solid game from their starting point guard Gabby Harrington.

Along with Harrington they are going to need their inside game to step up and that runs right through Alexis Harrington.

The Lady Bobcats record stands at 9-8 overall and 1-0 in district.

Every win from this point out is crucial for the Lady Bobcats because as of the most recent power rankings, Erath sits in the 32nd spot. Only 32 teams make the playoffs.

So they are on the bubble and need to play well from this point forward.

The Lady Patriots are also on the bubble of making the playoffs.

North Vermilion only sits two spots behind the Lady Bobcats, at 34th.

So this game could very well shape the future for both of these teams and their playoff hopes.

The Lady Patriots record sits at 5-14 overall and 0-1 in district.

Their district loss came to the hands of Notre Dame.

If the Lady Patriots want to bounce back they are going to need some solid play from starting guard Simone Pillette.

Pillette has been the engine that drives this team and when she plays well they play well.

Along with Pillette they are going to need solid games from the rest of the starting five: Catherine Touchet, Lanie Breaux, Cassidy Hoffpauir and Lunden Graham.
