Lady Thunder head coach Travis Findlay commented on his team’s performance saying, “This is the best we’ve played in over a month. We cut down on our turnovers and played smart. Le-Win is a good basketball team, they made some adjustments in the second half and we just couldn’t meet them shot for shot. I was really proud of our girls tonight.”

Dubuque Wahlert Rolls Over Thunder

The West Carroll Thunder played a good first half against Dubuque Wahlert on Tuesday night in Mt. Carroll. The second half was a totally different story as Wahlert took control and rolled to the 85-47 win. The contest was tied at thirteen after one period and the Thunder led by a point at thirty to twenty nine at the half. Dubuque jumped out to a big third quarter advantage, taking a fifty seven to thirty five lead into the final quarter. The going didn’t get any easier for West Carroll as they were outscored twenty eight to twelve in the final quarter. Thunder head coach Josh Knuth said, “We played well in the first half and were up one point at the break. Then, the wheels fell off. They picked up their energy and we came out flat. They shots the lights out in the second half and we were just plain bad. Hopefully, we can learn from our mistakes and improve on them so we can become a better team down the stretch.” Tyler Brashaw led the Thunder with fourteen points and teammate Brady Edwards added a dozen.

Indians Edge Milledgeville

One quarter, the third, made the difference in the game between Pecatonica and Milledgeville on Thursday evening in Pecatonica. Leading thirteen to eleven after one quarter and twenty five to twenty three at the half, Milledgeville was outscored twenty one to six in the third to fall behind by thirteen as Pec pulled out the 63-54 win.

Milledgeville’s Keegan Neubauer led the Missile’s in scoring with twenty three points and Brady Kness added ten.

A host of good games highlighted the fourth annual Manny’s West Carroll Shootout on Saturday in Mt. Carroll. The day began at ten a.m. with the Fulton Unity girls team taking on the West Carroll Lady Thunder. Fulton Unity jumped out to the early sixteen to ten first quarter lead. They extended their lead to twenty eight to twenty at the half. A fourteen to nine third quarter advantage made the lead forty two to twenty nine going into the final period. The Lady Knights from Fulton took a two point final quarter scoring edge to make the final margin of victory 56-41.

The day’s second game matched up the Shullsburg, WI Miners against the Milledgeville Missiles. The first quarter was close as the Missiles took a two point deficit into the second quarter. Milledgeville held a twenty five to twenty four lead at the halftime intermission. They maintained that lead going into the final period, leading thirty two to thirty. The Miners took the final period thirteen to six to hold off the Missiles 43-38.

The next game featured the Lady Knights from Davenport Assumption facing the Sterling Golden Warrior girls team. In a fast paced run and gun contest the Lady Knights were able to fend off the Sterling girls 66-57.

The day’s fourth game pitted the Bettendorf Bulldogs against the Madison, WI LaFollette Lancers. It was a back and forth contest with Bettendorf holding on to take the 58-53 victory.

The next contest matched up the Danville Vikings against the Gary, IN West Side Cougars. The Cougars held on to take the 50-40 win setting up the next game between the Forreston Cardinals and the Indian Creek Timberwolves. The Indian Creek squad gave the local Cardinals a good contest, taking them to the limit before Forreston was able to take the 68-56 win.

The final contest of the shootout matched up the Clinton River Kings with the host West Carroll Thunder. This match up didn’t disappoint as the visiting River Kings played neck and neck with West Carroll. The contest was tied at eight apiece after one quarter and Clinton taking a narrow twenty two to twenty lead in at the half. The Thunder roared back to take the thirty seven to thirty four lead into the final period and outscored the River Kings twenty five to seventeen in the final quarter to take the 62-51 win.

As usual Manny Castro was a gracious sponsor for this event and the staff at West Carroll school held another top notch event. I’m already looking forward to the fifth annual shootout. If you haven’t experienced this tourney, don’t miss next years!
