In a fast-paced home game, coming off their first loss of the season, the Center Point Lady Pirates hosted the Nueces Canyon Panthers. It was a hard-fought game with the Lady Pirates coming up short losing 59-24. “We fought to the very end, never giving up,” Coach Brian Mahler said. “The girls kept trying to score.” The Panthers scored first and often. With 5:28 on the clock in the first quarter, the Lady Panthers got on the board with 2-points off a shot by Christina Reyes. In the second quarter, Reyes would make a 3-pointer. Those were the only points the Lady Pirates would score in the first half going into halftime down, 38-5. In the second half, the Lady Panthers came out just as strong, although Center Point gained some momentum and were able to score 13 points in the third quarter, compared to 12 by the Lady Panthers. Both teams scored in the single digits in the fourth quarter, and the game ended with the Lady Panthers on top, 59-24. Scoring leader for the game was sophomore Reyes with 13 points. Cobee Beckerson racked up four defensive rebounds and one offensive rebound, and Kaylani Ritter had four blocks. The loss put the Lady Pirates at 2-2 for the season. Their next two games will be on the road in Medina and Comfort, before hosting Goldthwaite in their district opener at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10.A Tennessee man is convicted of killing 2 at a high school basketball game in 2021

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has set his sights on automatic qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League after a 3-2 win at RB Leipzig. Ross Barkley’s 85th-minute goal gave them victory in Germany after goals from John McGinn and Jhon Duran early in each half were cancelled out by Lois Openda and Christoph Baumgartner. That sent them up to third in the new league phase of the competition ahead of Wednesday’s games and with matches against Monaco and Celtic to come, Villa have an excellent chance of finishing in the top eight. Job done... in the end 😅 #RBLAVL #UCL pic.twitter.com/PRD1Hi1Q3A — Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) December 10, 2024 That would mean they would avoid a play-off round to make it through to the last 16 and Emery says that is the target. “Today was key. Juventus at home, we were thinking more to win but in the end we accepted the draw because it was important for a point to be more or less in the top 24,” he told Amazon Prime. “Today was a match we were thinking at the beginning was key to be a contender to be in the top eight with the last two matches to be played. “It is going to be difficult and we have to get some more points but we now have the possibility to achieve this option. “We are going to enjoy and try to get top eight but we have to be happy because we are in the top 24 and maybe even the top 16. “We weren’t contenders in the beginning to get there but now we have to accept it.” Leipzig, who are flying high near the top of the Bundesliga, are out after losing all six matches. They did pose a threat to Villa, who inflicted some of their own problems on themselves, notably a rare gaffe from goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for Openda’s equaliser. But Emery was happy with his side’s performance. “I try to enjoy and always we want to improve and sometimes it is hard but today the team were performing well, playing seriously and I was enjoying it,” he added. “We tried to overcome the mistakes we made and we did. More or less we were playing consistently. One mistake and they score but then we played very well. “Champions League is very difficult and we have to expect that every team playing at home are feeling strong. We played with consistency and domination.”Stock market today: Wall Street slips to a rare back-to-back loss
