After scoring just four points in the third quarter, Brossart’s offense got back on track and came away with a 46-39 victory over Scott in the opening game of the 37th District girls basketball tournament on Monday at Scott.
The Mustangs outscored the home team, 17-11, in the fourth quarter to get the win that puts them in the district final against Campbell County at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Both of the those teams will play in next week’s 10th Region girls tournament at Campbell County Middle School.

The score was tied, 30-30, when Brossart launched its game-winning surge.
It began with pair of 3-point goals by sophomore Graylee Kramer and a field goal, free throw combination by senior Zoee Meyers that put the Mustangs ahead, 39-33, with 2:48 left on the clock.
They secured the win by making seven of eight free throws in the final 1:32. Meyers made the last two foul shots to finish with a game-high 16 points that lifted her career total to 1,001. Kramer finished with 12 points.
