Score “one’’ for Lake Worth Beach. The streak is over.

The Lake Worth High girls basketball team had its 46-game losing streak snapped Wednesday night with a 32-17 triumph over Inlet Grove in their season opener at the Trojans’ home gym.

The streak dated to the 2019-20 season as Lake Worth posted its first win since Jan. 14, 2020, 41-40, over Boynton Beach. It was a garnet sea of joy after the final whistle after senior Christina Bell scored 17 points to lead the victory. The powerhouse Lake Worth boys squad seemed just as stoked.

“I feel like it’s a very positive step forward for the program and the girls' confidence," first-year coach Kyle DeMeo said. “When the buzzer sounded, the girls were ecstatic, jumping with joy. The boys were there supporting us. They came on the court and shared in the excitement with us."

It was 17-17 after three quarters before the Trojans busted out on a 15-0 run. Tameisha Wright, Alexandra Reiman and Jocilynne Sweeney led the defensive effort, combining for 12 steals — eight of them in the fourth quarter. Bell provided outside shooting with three 3-pointers.

At 1-0, Lake Worth is already ahead of its pace of 2022-23 when it went 0-18.

“I’m hoping for more games like we showed yesterday — very strong defense with the occasional 3-pointer," DeMeo said. “We scored a lot of points off our defensive turnovers and fast breaks."

Lake Worth survived despite foul trouble for standout power forward Gracy Joseph, who finished with seven rebounds.

On Thursday night, the Trojans moved to 2-0 after beating the new kids on the block, Garcia High, 36-19 in another home victory. Bell added another 15 points.and Reiman hit a trio of 3-pointers for 9 points.
