CONWAY -- Every time Conway produced a flurry of points Tuesday night, Fort Smith Northside had an answer.

And 5-10 senior forward Tiya Douglas was the Lady Bears' leading problem solver.

Douglas scored a season-high 27 points as top-ranked Northside held off the No. 2 Lady Wampus Cats 65-55 at Buzz Bolding Arena.

Northside (15-0, 4-0) never trailed in the 6A-Central showdown, hitting 23 of 42 shots from the floor and earning a 41-25 advantage on the boards, but Conway (16-3, 3-1) and senior guard Myia Yelder -- who finished with 34 points -- never allowed Northside to get comfortable with its advantage.

Conway got as close as eight points -- 46-38 -- with 6:01 left.
