CHAPEL HILL — Simply put, offense was tough to come by for the Forrest Lady Rockets in a 47-28 home loss to Eagleville on Friday night.
Eagleville exploded for 18 points out of the gate, highlighted by eight points from Brinli Bain, including a pair of three’s, while Forrest struggled to find open shots from the floor.
Freshman Kaylin Pope scored four points in the opening quarter, including a pair of free throws.
Still, Eagleville built an 18-6 lead by the end of the first.
That lead only grew in the second quarter, as Eagleville stretched its lead to 19 points by halftime, while Forrest managed just five points, a three-pointer by Macyn Kirby and a basket by senior Carli Warner.
Scoring slowed some for Eagleville into the second half, while Forrest was able to work its way to the line in the third period.
Still, the Lady Rockets managed just 3-of-5 attempts in the quarter, while sophomore Kinslee Inlow knocked down five points, including a three-pointer.
Open looks continued to elude the Lady Rockets into the fourth, with Josie Brown accounting for the lone field goal of the frame.
Eagleville’s Eliza McClaren and Bain combined for 25 points to lead the Lady Eagles, while Pope’s eight points was the top mark for Forrest.
Forrest is back in action this week in the Nolensville Christmas Classic, before returning home on January 3 against Moore County.
