Hoke County edges Lady Jackets at the line
Hoke County made its free throws when it counted most. Lee County didn't, making only 4-of-10 at the line in the last 1:26 of the Lee County Basketball Shootout game Thursday night in Lee County's Packard Gym.
The final result was Hoke County (2-8) taking the lead for good on two Shanice Horne free throws with 0:52 remaining, then getting a cushion when Courtney Pate made four in a row, for a 54-52 win over the Lady Yellow Jackets (3-7).
Lee County had the lead most of the night, hurting Hoke County with full-court pressing and by controlling the offensive boards - even if it didn't add up to many extra baskets for the Lady Jackets.
A 7-0 Jacket run made it 17-8 midway through the second quarter. Hoke County chipped back to a 22-20 deficit at halftime and with a hoop inside by Shy Locklear followed by a Pate three-pointer, then a shorter jumper by Pate, Hoke County led 27-22.
Lee County answered with a 12-0 run. De'ja Bland sparked the turnaround with a steal and lay-up. Point guard Quitta Wilson, who led the Lady Jackets with 16 points, pulled up a hit a trey from the top of the key next time down. The Jackets kept the momentum going to a 34-27 lead.
Lee County looked sharp for parts of the night, especially when steals led to easy baskets. Three straight lay-ups, in a span of about 35 seconds, one each by Wilson, Sarah VanSteen and Bland, stretched Lee County's edge to 42-34 with 5:24 left in the game.
The Lady Bucks got back in the game quickly though. Back-to-back driving jumpers by Te'Montae Spellers made it 45-44 Lee County with 2:50 remaining.
The Lady Jackets held to the slim lead until Horne made a hoop in the paint to tie the game, 46-46, with 1:14 left.
Allie Eyers made 1-of-2 at the line a few seconds later but another Pate jumper put Hoke ahead 48-47 with 0:59 and counting. Pate finished with a game-high 17 points, getting 11 in the second half.
Trailing 50-48, the Jackets had four shots at the line with 0:20, then with 0:18 left after boarding the miss on the first tries, only to get one to fall.
On the ensuing full-court trapping, the Lady Jackets were called for an intentional foul. Pate made the two at the line, then two more after she received the inbounds pass, taking the Buck lead to 54-49 with 0:08 left.
Spellers added 13 points for Hoke County. Bland scored 13 points for the Lady Jackets. VanSteen and Danielle Kreibick scored five points each.
Both squads will play Friday night at 6 p.m. Hoke will be in a semifinal in the Main Gym at LCHS. Lee will be in a consolation game in Packard.

UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett was licensed today at a Nevada State Athletic Commission hearing, subject to unpredented drug testing. Barnett appeared before the board via telephone, to get licensed to fight Travis Brown at UFC 169 on Dec 28.
According to the official motion, Barnett will be "subjected to enhanced, intensive, weekly testing by the WADA lab at the expense of Mr. Barnett or UFC and that he also be subjected to random testing by the Nevada State Athletic Commission through Dec. 31, 2014 to be paid by him or the UFC."
MMAJunkie's John Morgan broke the story.
Barnett and his attorneys appeared in person as the 16-year veteran addressed in detail his previous failed post-fight drug tests in Nevada in 2001 and 2002, as well as a 2009 pre-fight test in California.
Barnett maintained that the failed 2001 and 2002 tests were due to the use of supplements that were later reclassified as anabolic steroids while contending the 2009 test was likely due to contaminated supplements. "The Warmaster" said he now largely avoids supplements due to the past issues and does not ever intend to petition the commission for a therapeutic-use exemption for testosterone replacement therapy, despite his age.
He also maintained there would be no further excuses moving forward.

The shops follow the recent opening of Charleston Electronic Cigarettes in West Ashley. For more on the trend, see Money & Jobs in The Post and Courier on Sunday.

August 2, 2015
AUSTIN, Texas -- Tea party-backed state Rep. David Simpson says he's running for Texas House speaker while another conservative favorite, state Rep. Bryan Hughes, is abandoning his bid for the post.
Simpson, a second-term Republican from Longview, had said previously he wasn't interested in challenging fellow Republican Joe Straus of San Antonio for the speakership.
But he announced Monday that he had been urged to run and decided to do so "after much prayer, consideration and counsel."
Simpson caused a stir last year by sponsoring legislation to criminalize excessive touching during airport security pat-downs.
Straus has been speaker since 2009 but has been criticized by the far-right for being too moderate.
Hughes, a Republican from Mineola, announced months ago that he would challenge Straus. But he released a statement Monday endorsing Simpson.
