POSTGAME INTERVIEW
 
Robinson (Langham Creek) needed 11 points in Saturday's game to reach 1,000 career points. She added a layup with 45 seconds left in the first half to total 12 in the first half. She is the 15^th player in program history to achieve that feat and joins teammate Chania Wright (DeSoto), who reached the feat earlier this season.

After a back-and-forth first quarter in which there were three lead changes and five ties, there were no lead changes in the second quarter and the Lions did not trail in the quarter. The largest lead for either team in the first half was nine points and it came for the Lions just before the end of the half.
 
The Lions outscored the Falcons, 30-19, in the third quarter. A layup from Robinson with 12 seconds left gave the Lions a 23-point lead, 66-43. The Lion lead increased to as much as 33 in the fourth quarter as they scored 26 of the 40 points in the quarter, shooting 60 percent from the field.
