Lady Dogs edge Edmond North

It was opening night of the girls’ basketball season for Edmond North as they visited Edmond Memorial.

Memorial opened a 12-2 lead midway through the opening period before North could catch their breath. But the Lady Huskies fought back and managed to tie the game early in the next quarter.

The game was tied two more times and there were two lead changes in that period.

The tight battle continued into the second half as the Bulldogs opened a small lead several times, only to see the Huskies fight back.

Early in the fourth quarter, Memorial started to pull away and opened a 7-point lead on field goal by Emma Butler and an assist from Taylor Anderson.

Holding a 7-point lead with less than three minutes remaining in the contest, Memorial began playing a delay game as they held on for a 58-48 win.
