Thornton helped fuel a late first-quarter surge which established a Lady Oilers lead that wouldn’t be relinquished in a 62-41 win over Dawson in a District 23-6A matchup at the Pearland gym. “I’ve had this game in my mind the whole week,” Thornton said. “I stuck around practice, shot a lot, and just wanted to be more consistent.Dawson’s last lead in the game came at 7-6 when Kennedy Ford canned a 3-pointer at 4:18 of the opening quarter, but from there, Pearland went on a 20-6 run to open a 29-13 cushion in the second period.
