The Carlisle Lady Bison basketball team went 1-1 last week in the final two 2A-6 conference games. They are now 7-5 in league play and 9-16 overall.

Carlisle lost to Barton 63-57 on Jan. 30 but beat Palestine-Wheatley 59-44 on Friday. Both games were played at Bison Arena.

In the loss to Barton, Carlisle played without two players, Addison Bartley and Mariah Phillips, who were ejected during the Lady

Bison’s previous game at Des Arc.

Carlisle led 14-8 after one quarter, but the Lady Bears rallied in the second quarter, outscoring the Lady Bison 21-14 to lead 2928 at halftime. The difference in the game was the third quarter. Barton outscored Carlisle 24-12 to lead 53-40 heading into the fourth quarter.

Carlisle tried to get back into the game and did by scoring 17 points and holding the Lady Bears to only 10.

Laken Golden led sures in because our kids got comfortable with the way we called the game. I called it pretty aggressively and sent a lot of pressure. But our base defenses will be the same.”

Cawthon called the offensive for the Junior Bison last season.

“We’re going to stay in the spread offense,” Wilson said “We’ll add a few new wrinkles that we didn’t do this year. We’ll try to be a really physical running team, then try to burn people with play action passes. We think we’ve got the skill guys coming back to be able to do that.”

The Bison will be without the school’s all-time leading rusher and state’s all-time rushing touchdown leader in Jason Sullivan.

“Obviously, we can’t replace Jason with one guy,” Wilson said. “We’ll look for contributions from several of our skill guys. We think we’ve got those guys who can do that too.
