Leading San Angelo Lake View by seven points at halftime on Friday, the Abilene High girls basketball team outscored the Maidens 37-12 over the final two quarters to earn a 62-30 win and head into the Christmas break on a high note.
The Lady Eagles, who had lost three straight games and six of the previous seven heading into Friday’s matchup, got off to a fast start against Lake View, racing out to a 16-7 lead after a quarter. But the Lady Eagles were outscored 11-9 in the second quarter, keeping the Maidens within striking distance at the break.
That changed rapidly after halftime, though, as AHS outscored Lake View 19-6 in the third quarter to take complete control of the game.
