The MACA girls had a chance to get to .500 Thursday. Instead they were dealt a 58-53 defeat by the Cowgirls of Breckenridge. So we came out of the day at 4-6. Many conquests lie ahead for coach Dale Henrich's crew. We're past the holidays now. Everyone was thrown into a funk by what happened at our school on Friday, geez.
On Thursday our hoops action was non-conference. Let's usher in 2020! The Cowgirls picked up their sixth win against five losses. Breckenridge was the prime district-level rival of the Tigers when I was in high school. Those were historic times really as we were just getting started in girls athletics.
Things looked encouraging halfway through the Thursday affair. Coach Henrich had to feel encouraged by the 25-22 score that had his squad up. The orange and black faded after that as we were outdone 36-28.
We had scoring balance as an attribute. Malory Anderson and MacKenna Kehoe each scored 12 points and Meredith Carrington put in ten. But it was Kylie Swanson who had our only three-point make. Normally we do better in that department. Swanson had five points for her night's work. Emma Bowman contributed eight points and Kendra Wevley six.
Anderson was tops in rebounds with 12. Anderson performed four assists, and she and Carrington each had four steals. Wevley blocked a shot.
Boys: Tigers 64, Breckenridge 53
Ah, so many memories of Tigers vs. Cowboys games in past District 21 tournaments. They're still the Cowboys and Tigers. Green vs. orange and black. There's no "district" anymore but the teams do renew the rivalry on a non-conference basis.
So on Thursday the teams took to our MACA court where it was the orange and black prevailing. Yes, in a 64-53 final. We got our third win as Jackson Loge scored 18 points and gathered in 18 rebounds. Plus he swatted aside three Breck shots. Our record at night's end: 3-5. Breck's mark: 4-5.
Jaden Maanum scored 14 points and led our three-point shooting with two makes. Brandon Jergenson and Thomas Tiernan each made one '3'. Durgin Decker was a double figures scorer with his ten. Tiernan and Jergenson used their 3's to post totals of seven and five, respectively. Cameron Koebernick and Cade Fehr each scored four points, and Toby Gonnerman had two.
Maanum was the top assist producer with six. Tiernan had two steals.
