Tuesday’s girls’ rewind: Myers Park holds off Palisades, remains in share of first
Myers Park’s girls basketball team held on to a share of first place in the SoMECK conference on Tuesday by avoiding a big upset.
Myers Park beat Palisades 58-44 to give coach Barbara Nelson her historic 800th career win, but the Mustangs (9-11, 7-1) trailed at least once in all four quarters of the South Meck 4A Conference game.
But after Palisades (8-11, 3-5) took a 36-35 lead with 7 minutes, 31 to play, Myers Park closed the game on 23-8 run for the victory.
Sophomore guard Summer Thomason hit three of her seven 3-pointers in that surge and finished with a game-high 23 points. Amani Barner added 16 points for the Mustangs. Tynilla Simpkins led Palisades with 14 points.
“Some things went well that hadn’t been going well earlier,” Nelson said of the fourth-quarter surge. “This team has struggled some this year. And we’ve been fighting to get better. We’re 9-11 and we’re in a three-way tie for first.
“We lost some really tough games early in the year. So the message for this team is just to push forward and make the playoffs.”
