After picking up their first win of he year on Saturday at the Turrell Invitational Tournament, the Forrest City White Lady Mustangs couldn't keep the momentum going Monday while hosting Wynne at Mustang Arena.

In the end, Wynne had taken a come-from-behind 30-20 victory.

In junior boys action, the Wynne Junior Jackets ran past the White Mustangs 42-22.

The White Lady Mustangs led 5-4 after a low-scoring first period but pushed their advantage to 14-8 at the half after scoring 10 points in the second period, led by four points by Lashunda Rogers.

Forrest City was holding on to a one-point 18-17 lead after three periods but let it slip away in the fourth.

The Wynne junior girls tied the game at 20-20 with 3:34 to play in the final period and then scored 10 unanswered points to take home the victory.

It was Wynne's second victory over the White team this season. Earlier, on Wynne's home court, the Junior Lady Jackets won 46-16.

Rogers led Forrest City with six points while Whitney Lowe and Jasmina Morton added four points each. Layne McGuirt, Tasha Mills and Anita McDonald each had two.
