Lyon County’s girls cut a 14-point halftime deficit down to a single point in the third quarter.
However, the Lady Lyons could never draw even or get the lead, falling to Webster County 51-39 Tuesday night at Jason White Gymnasium in Eddyville.
Lyon (9-8) struggled offensively in the first half, managing just five field goals over the first two quarters while falling behind 28-14 at the break.
But the Lady Lyons got off to a quick start in the third quarter, twice cutting the margin to one at 29-28 and 30-29.
A 3-pointer by Hannah Yates helped Webster (9-6) hold Lyon at bay, and the Lady Trojans went up 36-30 through three quarters.
Webster pushed the margin to double figures early in the final stanza.
Lyon got back to within 45-39 on a Calista Collins bucket from inside with 2:01 to play, but Webster scored the final six points of the night to nail down the victory.
Yates had four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points to lead Webster. Madison Hinton and Raigan Price each added 10 points.
Rose Smith topped the Lyon scoresheet with 18 points. Collins had 12.
The Lady Lyons next visit University Heights Academy in Hopkinsville on Friday.
