Daija Hartman scored 18 points and Drasha Favors added seven ponts as Patterson was able to junp out to an early lead and hold off WHS for the consolation title.

“It was inconsistant play,” said Westgate coach Reggie Davis, whose team fell to 4-4 on the year. “Against Jeanerette early in the tournament, Shayne Charles had 14 points and 16 rebounds. Today she maybe had eight points and four rebounds in the first game against West St. Mary and probably about the same against Patterson.

“We only hit about two of 20 shots against West St. Mary in the first half. If we could excute and go to the glass then we sould have done better.

“We were just outrebounded and outhustled against Patterson. Not getting rebounds did us in.”

Charles had eight points against Patterson, Danitra Clay scored nine points and Daniela hawk added seven in the loss.

Westgate will play Jeanerette Monday with the JV starting at 5:30 p.m. and the varsity playing at 6:30 p.m.
