MADISON — The Buford girls fell behind early, mounted a third quarter rally, but eventually dropped their first game of the season 53-46 to Morgan County Saturday night.
Morgan County opened the game with a 17-8 first quarter and extended its lead to 39-26 by halftime as Bufoird had trouble stopping the Lady Bulldogs offense.
But the Lady Wolves (3-1) held Morgan County scoreless in the third quarter to close within 39-36 heading into the fourth quarter. Buford held the Lady Bulldogs to just three field goals in the fourth quarter but could not reclaim the lead.
Tory Ozment led Buford with 10 points. Chandler Hall and Marissa Bruce each had eight points for the Lady Wolves.
Buford next will travel to St. Francis on Tuesday.
