MANSFIELD — After losing to Canyon 56-16 in the opener of the Mansfield Rotary Invitational Tournament on Dec. 27, Marble Falls High School girls basketball coach Stephanie Gamble was looking for a better effort the rest of the tournament.

She got that in the Lady Mustangs’ 49-41 loss to Fort Worth Dunbar on Dec. 27.

But a 56-34 loss to Cibolo Steele on Dec. 28 illustrated some of the same struggles the squad had against Canyon.

"We didn’t do a good job in the first half (against Cibolo Steele)," Gamble said. "We had nine points at the half. In the second half, we played with a lot more energy. We made it respectable."
