Big school programs on the La Conner High School girls' basketball schedule have posed few issues for the Lady Braves.
Not so with nearby small school rival Mount Vernon Christian, however.
The Lady Hurricanes overcame a five-point halftime deficit to hand La Conner a 46-45 NW2B/1B setback at DeKok Court Saturday afternoon.
La Conner was playing its third road game in three nights, having bested 4A Kamiak 68-45 Thursday and 2A North Kitsap 52-40 Friday.
Mount Vernon Christian, the defending state 1B champions, parlayed a patient half-court offense and crucial three-point shooting into its one-point comeback triumph.
La Conner rebounded from an 18-13 second period deficit in a back-and-forth affair.
An inside bucket and putback by Makayla Herrera narrowed the final margin to 46-45. Despite forcing a Lady Hurricane turnover, La Conner was unable to score in the last 49 seconds.
La Conner (7-2 overall) was scheduled at 1A Meridian Monday night.
