After enjoying its first home game of the season, the Lowry High School girls basketball team was back on the road on Tuesday, Dec. 20, for a non-conference meeting with South Tahoe.
The Lady Bucks improved to 9-2 on the season, using a 21-8 run in the fourth quarter to beat the Vikings 62-38.
Due to the scheduling change this season, the crossover game doesn’t count toward the playoff standings.

The Lady Bucks’ offense found it tough sledding out of halftime, with the Vikings outscoring them 9-6 to cut the deficit to 41-30 with eight minutes to play.
Lowry ended any thoughts of an upset, with a quick start in the fourth quarter, capping the game off with a 21-9 run.
