WEST PORTSMOUTH - Pssssst.

That was the sound of the Green Lady Bobcats offense in the first half as they fell behind by 12 points and lost 43-37 to the Portsmouth West Lady Senators Monday.

"We came out flat and dug ourselves a hole," Green coach Melissa Knapp said. "We came out and played pretty well the second half, but 23 turnovers killed us. And the bad thing is they were unforced turnovers."

West outscored Green 16-8 in the first quarter and led 25-13 at the half.

Leigh Ann Williams scored 5 points and Heidi 4 in the third quarter as Green rallied to get within 29-28 at the end of the quarter.

But Kim Waller had 6 points and Charlee Graf 5 in the fourth quarter as West held on for the win.

Williams scored 10 points to lead the Lady Bobcats, 5-3.

Waller and Graf had 11 points each for West.
