Avery Wakefield scored 18 points, all but two of them in the second half, but Corner could not quite overcome a sluggish start as they were edged by Tarrant 31-30 in girls basketball on Tuesday.

Ajah Wayne’s 1-for-2 at the free throw line in the last minute proved to be the difference for the Wildcats.

Madison Purvis, Bailee Hammock and Ashley Cox each scored four points for the Yellow Jackets (0-2).

Tameria Dale scored seven points, including a 3-pointer, for Tarrant.

The Jackets play at Mortimer Jordan on Thursday night.
