The Comfort Deer opened district action last Friday night by picking up a road win at Florence.
It turned into a close game as the Comfort girls held off a strong Lady Buffs finish to record the 30-28 victory.
Comfort starts district at 1-0 and improved to 6-11 this season. The Deer hosted Blanco on Tuesday and visit Ingram on Friday as they continue league play.
In last Friday’s contest, Comfort was up 7-5 at the end of the first quarter and then outscored the Lady Buffs in the second period, 9-6, for the 16-11 halftime lead.
The Deer added to their lead after they won the third quarter, 9-5, and took a 25-16 lead into the fourth quarter.
But that’s when Florence’s comeback started. The Comfort offense slowed down, and they only tallied 5 points in the quarter, while the Lady Buffs dropped in 12 points.
The Deer held off Florence and managed to earn a 2-point victory.
Molly Gowan led the Deer team with 11 points, Jacqueline Robledo and Alexa Lozano dropped in 6 points apiece, Ryan Farrell finished with 4 points and Jaelyn Ruelas chipped in with 3 points.
