Lady Thunder Edge Warren

West Carroll played almost even basketball with the Warren Lady Warriors Monday evening in Savanna. Warren held very slim leads in the first half and the game was knotted at thirty four to begin the final quarter. The Lady Thunder managed to have enough to squeak out a fourth quarter thirteen to ten scoring advantage to take the narrow victory. West Carroll head coach Travis Findlay said, “We started off shaky but had a great second half. Katy Cook started to feel it from the outside and Audre Francke and Sarah Boyer did a great job in the post. I was just happy to see that our girls refused to lose and finished strong.” The Lady Thunder were led by Katy Cook, who dropped in sixteen points.

Pearl City Downs Eastland

The Pearl City Lady Wolves battled back despite being behind for much of the game to defeat Eastland on Wednesday evening at EHS 45-43. The Lady Cougars jumped out to an eleven to four first quarter lead and took a nineteen to sixteen lead at the half. They extended that lead to seven points at thirty two to twenty five going into the final quarter. Pearl City began the fourth quarter with a twelve to one run to take a four point lead. Eastland was stifled by a stiff Pearl City defense that didn’t allow another basket by the Lady Cougars until Courtney Blair was able to score with just over two and a half minutes left to play. With just under a half minute to play Eastland’s Taylor Ruter nailed a three to tie the game and Pearl City’s kelsie Kluck drove to the bucket and was fouled with twelve point five left. She sank both free throws and a three pointer from Lady Cougar Kerby Kniss at the buzzer failed to fall. Free throws down the stretch proved to be a major factor as the Lady Wolves converted on eight of twelve attempts while Eastland shot six for eleven from the charity stripe. Ashley Cropper and Kelsie Kluck led the Lady Wolves, each scoring thirteen points. Eastland was led by Taylor Ruter’s seventeen points.
