The Zapata Lady Hawks flew into Tarpon Gym in first place Tuesday night with a perfect 6-0 record in district play. They left with a 6-1 record after losing to the Lady Tarpons, 60-45.
Head coach Alan Ward’s squad brought their “A” game and led from the start. So I was told at any rate by Coach Ward after it was all over. I neglected to remember the earlier-than-usual tip-off time due to the extra travel time required for the visitors. I arrived at the gym in the middle of the second quarter. “We did lead all the way,” Coach Ward said afterwards. “I gotta’ give the kids a lot of credit because we got into serious foul trouble early. We had three starters out for a substantial amount of time.”
