An 11-point advantage at halftime was what the Cy-Fair girls basketball team needed to pull out a 51-38 victory over visiting Westside Tuesday night.

Bobcat forward Rhian Rogan scored 10 points and also led the way defensively in the winning effort.

“She definitely was our key as far as getting that defensive rebound and kicking out quick for our out and trying to get our run going,” Cy-Fair coach Ann Roubique said. “She did a real good job. I was yelling and screaming at all of them to block out.”

Roubique was speaking of her team gave up 12 offensive rebounds in first half. Both teams kept constant pressure on with the full and half-court press. Though Cy Fair maintained a 10-point lead through most of the game, the Wolves battled back with defense to cut the lead by six on a few occasions.

“We did okay on that, but in the first half we had (I think) 13 turnovers,” Roubique said of Westside’s full-court press. “But we did make some plays when we needed to, but we did not do a good job consistently of handling the pressure they were putting on us.”

In the second half the Bobcats came out early scoring several points in transition. The Wolves kept the game within reach, but never cut into the led significantly. The fourth quarter was plenty of trading baskets and hard-core defense. With players in foul trouble on both sides, it was the Bobcats that pulled out the preseason victory.
