The Republic Lady Tigers scored only 13 points in the first half — but made up for lost time after the break, running away with a 63-38 win over McDonald County. The victory puts Republic in the finals of the Lady Houn’ Invitational at Aurora Saturday.
Republic jumped on top 2-0 with a quick score by Jayme Sifferman, but failed to score another field goal until late in the first quarter. They trailed 7-5 after one period.
