PROCTORVILLE — Evidently, 3 out of 4 isn’t good enough.
The Fairland Lady Dragons had three strong quarters, but the one bad quarter was too much to overcome in a 64-63 loss to the Portsmouth Clay Lady Panther Monday.
Fairland jumped out to a 17-12 first quarter lead, but then came the second quarter as the Lady Dragons scored just seven points and they trailed 29-24 at the half.
Fairland (7-9) tied the game 44-all to end the third quarter but Clay outscored the Lady Dragons 20-19 in the fourth quarter to win.
Kayla Swiger scored 17 points and Chandler Fulks 15 to lead Fairland. Kerie Napier had 13 points and 10 rebounds and Katie Fuller five assists.
