Jenna Canon led Pearl City in scoring with thirteen points and teammate Ashley Cropper added ten. Twenty five turnovers plagued the Pearl City squad and aided the Lady Royals in the win. Pearl City coach Mike Lee said, “Simply put, we need to be more aggressive and take the ball at them in the post. The bottom line is, I am seeing improvement, especially defensively.” Orion 83 West Carroll 23 The Lady Chargers took control of the game, outscoring the Lady Thunder nineteen to four in the first quarter. Orion held a forty two to twelve lead at the half and never looked back as they cruised to the easy win. Aliesha Handel led West Carroll in scoring with seven points. Pearl City 51 Hiawatha 36 Behind the scoring of the Lady Wolves Ashley Cropper (14 points) and Jenna Canon (13 points), Pearl City squeezed by the Lady Hawks. Limiting their turnover from the previous game to only ten helped Pearl City to the victory. Coach Lee commented, “We played great team defense and ran the floor well. We also looked for our opportunities on offense.” Prophetstown 56 West Carroll 26 The Lady Prophets took control early and rolled to the thirty point win. Catherine Medrano and Jenna Forward led Prophetstown with eleven points each. Kylee Vos led the Lady Thunder with eight points. West Carroll coach Ron Sietz said, “The Lady Thunder started out slowly. Our interior defense let us down as we let them have too many close shots and second and third chances at the offensive basket. On the positive side, we tried a new defense against them to neutralize their biggest scoring threat and it succeeded. Unfortunately, they are such a deep team, that the other players compensated in scoring points.” Riverdale 58 West Carroll 26 The Lady Rams used a big second half scoring drive and cruised to the thirty two point win. Ieshia Larson led West Carroll with nine points and Aliesha Handel added eight. Ciach Sietz said, “The Lady Thunder started out aggressively against a top team and two lights out shooters. We deployed a 1-2-1-1 zone defense to diffuse their three point shooters and it worked the entire first half. Riverdale scores in bunches and we held them to twenty eight first half points. Offensively, we couldn’t get into a rhythm. They pressed us hard, man to man, and it shook us up for a while but we were able to overcome it. We had too many turnovers and that is never good. We are hoping for a better showing versus Hiawatha tomorrow. Individually, Ieshia Larson, our junior center, played with a purpose and scored a team high nine points, as well as hauling down an incredible eleven rebounds.” Hiawatha 41 West Carroll 25 Dixon Holiday TournamentNo results received Girls Basketball Scores December 27 Belvidere North 55 Sterling 47 Rock Falls 40 Rochester 38 December 28 Forreston 49 Dixon 24 Sterling 63 Normal Community 46 Freeport Aquin 58 Dunlap 49 December 29 Geneseo 53 Forreston 50 Peoria Notre Dame 63 Sterling 41
