Cove falls to No. 6 La Vega in OT

By TJ MAXWELL

WACO – The Copperas Cove Lady Dawgs basketball team had multiple opportunities to steal a game from a Top 5 opponent on the road but a missed free throw and a last-second turnover by Cove allowed the Lady Pirates, ranked No. 6 in Class 4A, to escape with the 56-55 overtime victory.
 
“We have to learn from that,” said Cove head basketball coach Eldridge McAdams. “It was a good game from start to finish. The girls battled but, those opportunities we had, we have to take advantage of them. It was just one of those deals. The girls definitely came out here and gave their heart but we would definitely like to have that back.
