New Site High School didn’t need a frantic finish — it made sure there wouldn’t be one.

After trailing by one at the break, New Site took control in the third quarter and dominated in the fourth, beating Loyd Star Attendance Center 38-24 on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.

The shift came right out of halftime. New Site outscored Loyd Star 12-6 in the third to seize momentum, then delivered the clincher with a 9-0 fourth quarter that left Loyd Star stuck on 24 points for the night.

Bella Green led the way with 11 points for New Site, and Johna Lindley added nine as New Site stacked stops and kept pushing the margin.

Loyd Star was led by Maddie Britt’s nine points, but the offense never found a late answer after New Site’s halftime surge.
