The Lady Houns fought to the finish against a bigger Parkview Lady Vikings squad Saturday in the consolation bracket final, but fell just short, losing 43-36.

Parkview led 12-11 after one period and 26-19 at the break.

Aurora pulled to within five by the end of the third, trailing 33-28. And then in the fourth period they trailed by as few as four and had a number of chances to get closer, but the wear of playing four games in four days took its toll.

Lakin Waggoner led Aurora with 11 points, while Shanie Siegrist added 8 and Baylee Hilton 5.

The Lady Houns are now 4-9 on the season and will next play on January 3, at home against Neosho.
