Just when it looked like Caldwell County was right back in the game, Lyon County turned the tide.

A 15-5 burst helped the Lady Lyons turn a three-point lead into a 47-34 advantage, and Lyon went on to claim a 63-48 victory Tuesday night in Princeton.

Trinity Taylor’s 3-pointer started the key run while Lilly Perry’s 3 capped it.

Lyon (10-15) then opened the fourth quarter with a 14-4 spree to take its biggest lead of the night at 63-42.

Taylor finished with 17 points and seven rebounds while Perry had 16 points and eight boards. Courtney Collins added 11 points and eight rebounds.

Meanwhile, Tink Clark had 22 points to lead Caldwell (8-19), which got off to a great start in the contest only to be foiled by another Lyon run.

The Lady Tigers ran out to a 7-0 lead just over 2 minutes into the tilt. However, after a 3-pointer by Med Thomas gave Caldwell its early lead, the Lady Tigers went the next over 9 minutes before finding the range from the floor again.

That allowed Lyon to score 13 straight points to take the lead as part of an 18-1 run that put Lyon up 18-8 following a Piper Cotham 3 to open the second period.

Lyon took a 32-24 lead to halftime.

But Caldwell again got off to a quick start in the second half, getting a 3-pointer and a layup — both from Clark — to pull within 32-29.

The Lady Tigers could not keep the momentum, though, with Lyon instead using its runs to take control of the contest.

Caldwell’s girls will pay a visit to Whitesville Trinity on Thursday while Lyon goes to Dawson Springs that night.
