Maddie Carrington outdid herself Thursday night (12/21) in GBB play. Surely all the Carringtons will feel the festive Christmas spirit to the max. We wish that circle still included Laura.
Tiger GBB standout Maddie made seven 3-pointers in a road victory. The success was at Melrose. The orange and black made the trip down I-94. On the way home, they could savor their 69-62 win over the Dutchmen. The win was our sixth. Melrose came out of the night at 4-4.
Riley Decker had a fine long-range shooting eye just like Carrington. Decker made three 3-pointers and Malory Anderson made one. That harvest of 3's really made the difference. We owned a 34-24 lead at halftime.
Carrington topped the orange and black scoring list with 27 points. We had two other double figures scorers: Anderson with 18 points and Decker with ten. I'm happy to see my occasional waitress at DeToy's, Jordann Baier, in the scoring mix with four. I'm also happy to see Carly Wohlers of the noteworthy Wohlers clan, with whom I've made trips to Nashville TN, also score four. Liz Dietz, Alexis Pew and Jenna Howden each scored two.
Rebound leaders were Anderson (10), Dietz (7) and Wohlers (6). Dietz had four assists to top that category. Anderson stole the ball five times and Decker had four steals.
Melrose's top scorer had 27 points just like our Maddie Carrington. Maikya Luetmer scored 27 for the Dutchmen. Ashley Rademacher was a force for the Dutchmen with 17 points. These three Dutchmen each scored six: Cassie Klaphake, Courtney Wensman and Madison Dufner. Klaphake made two 3-pointers. Rademacher collected 12 rebounds. Luetmer dished out seven assists. Klaphake stole the ball five times.
The Tigers carry a 6-3 record forward.
Boys hockey: Prairie Centre 8, Storm 4
The Storm put the puck in the net four times but it wasn't enough in a game versus Prairie Centre. The first period was telling as the Prairie Centre skaters shot out to a 5-2 advantage. The scoring cooled the rest of the way.
The wild first period story began with Cole Crosby scoring at 3:42, assisted by Andrew Bick. Ian Gould made the score 2-0 at 4:46 with assists from Preston Sorenson and Andrew Custer. Seth Deters put Prairie Centre up 3-0 with his goal at 7:41, assisted by Hudson Pung. Then MBA got on the board with a Zach Bruns goal assisted by Jack Riley, at 8:27.
But PC seized the momentum back. Hudson Pung scored with a Deters assist at 9:27. Deters scored with a Hunter Fletcher assist at 9:50. MBA got the last goal of the period: Hunter Gades got the puck in the net assisted by Bruns and Riley at 10:11.
Each team scored a goal in the second period. Cody Wolbeck scored for PC with assists from Bick and Sorenson at :57. MBA's Bruns scored with assists from Mike Halvorson and Riley at 3:05.
The third period scoring began with a shorthanded PC goal by Fletcher assisted by Crosby at 5:02. Riley of the Storm scored with a Bruns assist at 12:59. Prairie Centre got the night's last goal, power play style, as Deters put the puck in the net with assists from Fletcher and Gould at 14:09.
Chase Engebretson was our goalie and he had 41 saves. His goalie rival was Isaiah DeFoe who turned away 28 shots. This prep hockey contest was played on December 21 at Prairie Centre.
(I wonder if Andrew Custer is a descendant of you-know-who.)
