WOODLAWN - Fordyce continued to build on its early lead throughout the game as the Ladybugs handed the Woodlawn Lady Bears their fifth straight loss, 56-39, in an 8-2A conference game last Friday night at Woodlawn.
The loss dropped the Lady Bears to 9-13 overall and 2-6 in league play.
Fordyce led 11-10 at the end of the first quarter, and gradually pulled away from there, going up 27-21 at halftime, and 41-31 to start the fourth quarter.
Despite the string of losses, Woodlawn Coach Synthia English remains optimistic about a late season surge if she can get more a consistent play among her starters at the same time.
Lillie Faye McWhorter has one of best games of the season, English said, as she finished with a team-high 11 points. Kathryn Dixon and Kelsi Mack followed with nine apiece.
