All the Big Spring Lady Steers needed was a spark to fend off Abilene Cooper in a 45-35 win Saturday in Steer Gym.
The Lady Steersâ mishaps and turnovers prevented them from gaining a substantial lead over Cooper, but they were in a tied game 24-24 as the third quarter was coming to an end.
That spark they needed came in the form of a 10-2 run, thanks to clutch shooting from Cerbi Ritchey, Valerie Ross and Mackenzie Stone.

Care for a bit of Birdie?
The Big Spring High School drama and choir departments will team up this weekend to present âAn Evening of Bye Bye Birdieâ in the high school auditorium.
Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday.
Admission is free but donations will be accepted.
The students will perform excerpts from the popular Broadway musical, in which a famous rock star (think Elvis Presley circa 1958) travels to a small town in Ohio to make his farewell TV performance before being drafted into the Army.
PLAINVIEW â By the middle of Coahomaâs bi-district playoffs game against Spearman Friday in Plainview, the Bulldogs knew if they were going to win, it was going to be in comeback fashion.
All the pieces started fitting together for that to happen, too. Jason Martinez punched the ball in for a score to cut the Lynx lead to 13, Coahomaâs defense forced a three-and-out on the next drive and suddenly, the Bulldogs were driving down the field for a second score.
Eight area students received a major pat on the back as they were named winners of the Big Spring Optimist Club's annual Outstanding Student Awards.
DeAnna Clare and Andrew Fillingim of Big Spring High School, Rachel Kennedy and Brayden Iden of Coahoma High School, Regan Newsom and Zane Herrin of Forsan High School and Morgan Yarbrough and Blak Thomasson of Sands High School were named winners of the awards, club officials announced.
To be considered for the award, students must excel in the areas of academics, extra-curricular activities and community service.
SEMINOLE â Stanton is known for defense and physical play in the trenches.
The Buffaloes still had that in their 30-6 win over Abernathy Friday in Seminole in bi-district playoff action. They just had the passing to go along with it.
âWe didnât know what to expect in a first-round playoff game,â Stanton head coach John Peterson said. âEverybodyâs hungry to stay in the playoffs. Abernathy did a great job of trying to take away our run, so we adjusted a little bit, started throwing the ball.â
The Grady Wildcats knew they had to accomplish two things in order to win their six-man playoff game with Ira â they had to capitalize on their scoring opportunities and they had to contain Iraâs Lance Morris.
Unfortunately for the âCats, they didnât succeed on either front and ended up dropping a 56-43 decision Friday night in Memorial Stadium.

⢠SUSAN OVERTON, 24, 1408 E. Sixth, was arrested on a charge of driving while license invalid.
