The Port Isabel Lady Tarpons hoops team lost, 50-35, on the road to Hidalgo Tuesday night. With the loss, Port Isabel is eliminated from any possible playoff consideration for the season.
Port Isabel is now 4-8 in District 32-4A play and Hidalgo improves to 8-4 and has clinched a playoff spot. Zapata, 10-2 in district, La Feria, also 10-2, and Rio Hondo, 9-3, have also secured playoff berths.
The Lady Pirates led 10-8 at the end of a quarter of play, 25-21 at halftime, and 34-30 at the end of three quarters.
Here and there, in the first half at least, the Lady Tarpons managed to get a nose in front. “It was back and forth, P.I. head coach Blake Ramsey said Wednesday morning. “We’d be up one or two, then they’d go up two. It was a see-saw battle.”
