Hart’s 34 leads Princeton to overtime victory

by | Jan 19, 2023 | Sports

The Lady Panthers picked up their sixth district win of the season Tuesday night, defeating Sherman 72-67 in overtime.

Princeton’s long road trip up north didn’t deter them in the first half, as they scored 42 points in the first two quarters and led 42-39 against the third-place Lady Bearcats. Things cooled off in the third, however, as the Lady Panthers were held to just five points and trailed by four entering the final quarter.

Mariah Hart and company were able to force overtime and came out on top in the end. Hart led all scorers with 34 points, while Ariyanna Stephens added 18 and Terrayah McCoy scored 11.

Princeton is now 6-1 on the season in district play, one game behind No. 20 McKinney North for first place with just five games remaining. The Lady Panthers host Denison this Friday in their next game.
