The game started unfavorably for the Lady Trojans as Bellaire propelled a 12-2 run in the first quarter, setting a tough pace Central Lake struggled to counteract. Throughout the game, the Lady Trojans fought hard but were unable to secure a lead, closing the first half trailing 17-10.

Statistically, Joelyssa Hayden emerged as the top scorer for the Trojans, contributing 10 points. Abby Miller led the team in rebounds with 7 and also contributed 4 points. In terms of defense, Myla Hibbard stood out with 4 steals. Regrettably, the team's overall shooting, especially from the free-throw line where only 6 of 18 attempts were successful, hindered their ability to close the gap.

Despite the offensive challenges, the Trojans demonstrated solid defensive capabilities by holding the potent Bellaire team to just 32 points. However, the initial deficit from the first quarter and subsequent challenges in gaining offensive momentum were difficult for Central Lake to overcome.

As the Lady Trojans look forward, their next challenge will be against Ellsworth Lancers in the Holiday Tournament Semi-Finals at Central Lake High School on December 22, 2025. The team undoubtedly aims to leverage their defensive strengths and improve their offense to clinch a victory in their upcoming game.
