The second quarter delivered a jolt to the Cubettes’ hopes as College Station extended their lead to 20-9 with a well-placed 3-pointer. But Brenham wasn’t about to give up that easily.

Comeback Efforts

In the third quarter, the Cubettes demonstrated their grit and resilience. They cut the deficit to 39-30, thanks in part to crucial free throws from Yazmine Gaines.
