Lady Broncos are flown over

6A No. 9 Del City upset the No. 3-ranked Mustang Lady Broncos 56-52 in the first round of regional action Saturday afternoon.
The Eagles advance to area finals Thursday to face the No. 6-ranked Edmond Santa Fe Wolves.
The Eagles came out and did something that no other team has been able to do all year in blanketing the Lady Broncos from the opening tip to the final buzzer.
The game-plan was simple for the Eagles going into the regional championship game and the team executed it flawlessly giving head coach Deanna Duerson her 17th win and a trip to the area finals.
The game-plan was simple said Duerson after the game “just shut down their inside game and seal off any penetration to the basket.”
The Broncos grabbed the early 2-0 lead on a lay-in by Kasey Tweed who would be forced to leave the game later in the quarter after rolling her ankle. Tweed would return for the second quarter but was held scoreless the rest of the way.
The sister act of Lucy and Lacy Ramon was limited to just seven points from the charity stripe to cut the Eagles' lead to 16-9 going into the second quarter.
The Eagles scored the first five points of the quarter before the Broncos got on the board with Autumn Foley finding Lucy Ramon in the lane for the easy bucket.
The Broncos scored the next four points with Jordan Pyle twisting in the lane for an easy lay-up followed by a 7-foot jumper by Lacy Ramon to cut the lead to 21-15 with 5:44 left before halftime.
Senior Amber Maples added four points just before the half knocking down a 5-foot jumper and hitting both ends of a two shot foul to close out the half trailing 25-19 at the break.
The Lady Broncos fought their way back on back-to-back 3-point bombs from Lauren Reel to cut the Eagles lead single possession late in the quarter.
The Lady Broncos grabbed their first lead since the first quarter on a trey from deep in the corner by Katilyn Ellison giving the Lady Broncos a slim 28-27 lead with seconds left in the quarter.
Mustang was whistled for a reach-in foul with no time left on the clock sending Porshea Jefferies to the line tying the game at 28-28 going into the break.
The Lady Broncos looked as if they were going to take control of the game coming out of the break with Reel hitting a wide open trey from the top of the key. Lacy Ramon followed suit by putting back a Maples miss with two points of her own the give the Lady Broncos their biggest lead of the night 33-28 to start the quarter.
The Lady Broncos would stretch the lead to 35-30 with Lacy Ramon grabbing another offensive board and fighting her way for two points off the glass before the Eagles would fight their way back.
The Lady Eagles regained the lead scoring the next six points to take a 36-35 lead before Lacy Ramon tied the game at the line.
The “never say die” Lady Broncos found Reel in the corner for another trey and Lacy Ramon added three points from the line taking a 42-38 lead late in the quarter.
Del City finished the third quarter with five straight points from Tiffany Goldwire outscoring the Lady Broncos 8-2 to knot the score at 44-44.
The Lady Eagles turned up the heat in the final quarter outscoring the Lady Broncos 12-8 to take command late in the game and advance to the area finals with a 56-52 win. Lucy Ramon led the way for the Lady Broncos scoring all eight points in the quarter.
Tiffany Goldwire led three Eagles in double figures with 12 points while Lucy Ramon led all scorers with 18 points for Mustang.
