The Tigers assumed a 27-17 lead in the first half. They wrapped
things up with a 24-11 scoring advantage in the second half. So the
final score was 51-28.
It was win No. 15 for the MACA crew against seven losses.
It was win No. 15 for the MACA crew against seven losses.
The team is adjusting to the unfortunate loss of Tracy Meichsner
who experienced a practice injury. She's no-go for the rest of the
season. It's an ACL (knee) problem.
Katie Holzheimer is ascending in Morris Area Chokio Alberta career
annals. She's having special impact with her long-range shooting. On
Friday she was in the kind of groove that is typical for her, making
three 3-pointers. Courtney Gades made a '3' also.
Holzheimer's successes from beyond that stripe tied her with
Allison Donovan for career-best. Donovan set the standard in 2000.
Coming out of Friday, Holzheimer and Donovan both owned the career stat
of 109 in 3's.
Holzheimer is a senior guard and on Friday her 13 points were
team-best, edging Beth Holland who had 12. MaKenzie Smith was the other
double figures scorer with ten. Abby Olson contributed eight points to
the winning cause, while Gades and Kaitlin Vogel each put in four.
The Tigers were four of 16 in three-point shooting, 22 of 52 in total field goals and three of six in freethrows.
Smith led in rebounds with eight followed by Nicole Strobel with
seven and Holzheimer with six. Gades and Strobel were tops in assists
with four and three respectively. Three Tigers each stole the ball
twice: Holzheimer, Beth Holland and Smith.
Monte's top scorers were Tia Diggins and Ashley Hoehne each with nine points. Monte made no 3's.
MACA coach Dale Henrich had to feel mighty pleased with his team's
defense. This point gets special accent for the second half in which
Monte was limited to eleven points!
Tiger basketball has an upbeat look with the post-season drawing near. (Let's see an elevated temperature outside too.)
