Consol girls get victory over Ellison: A&M Consolidated's girls used a balanced offense and a strong second half to defeat Killeen Ellison 60-56 at Tiger Gym on Tuesday night.

The Lady Tigers (9-15, 3-5) began the second round of District 12-5A basketball action with a victory that kept their faint playoff hopes alive. Consol moved into a fifth-place tie with Harker Heights, two games behind Ellison (21-6, 5-3) for the fourth and final playoff berth from the league.

Consol made a huge turnaround from its district opener, when the Lady Tigers lost by 30 points at Ellison. In the rematch Consol trailed 32-27 at halftime, but outscored the Lady Eagles by nine points in the second half.

"They just never gave up this time," Consol coach Nelda Gilbert said. "We had less turnovers and stopped reaching for the ball on defense. We could have blocked out better, but the girls played hard."

Three Consol players reached double figures in scoring, with senior center Karla Gilbert delivering 19 points and 12 rebounds. Guard Tierra Tucker and forward Javan Booker scored 14 points apiece, with Booker grabbing five rebounds.
