Moving up to Class 6A, Pearland draws 14th-ranked Atascocita in the 2nd round…
Early on, Atascocita goes inside to Kyleigh McGuire, nice post move for the bucket and she’s fouled.
Same story on the other end, Pearland pounds it inside to De Gaston, and she says “Count it!” 3-point play the old-fashioned way.
Later, it’s Gaston showing off the range as well, she leads all scorers with 19 points and Pearland leads by 8 at intermission.
More sharpshooting from the Lady Oilers in the third, this time it’s Kyah Barlow knocking down the three ball.
Atascocita not going away quietly, Dede Davis drives and lays it in for two for the Lady Eagles.
But Pearland slams the door shut, nice reverse layup by Aryelle Stevens (Air-ee-ell) and Pearland knocks off Atascocita, 45-31, and will advance to face Clear Springs in the next round.
