Merrideth Spiers Sparks Junior High Tigers to 2nd Win

Worth County's girls were locked in a tight defensive struggle with North Harrison and leading 7-2 midway through the second quarter when Merrideth Spiers came off the bench to spark the Tigers on both ends of the floor. She got behind the defense and got a pass from Kristen New and added a putback to make it 11-2. She then found Liz Lyle on the wing; Liz, who didn't realize how wide open she was, hesitated for a second and then knocked down the wide open shot. Regan Allee scored a shot from the left wing after shaking off her defender to put Worth County up 15-2.

A swarming Tiger defense took over from there as North Harrison burned two timeouts early in the third quarter as they could not get the ball up the floor against Worth County's pressure. Anna Gladstone, who led the Tigers with 9, knocked down two shots; Liz Lyle hit Navada Hoff on the left wing and then found a cutting Jessi Badell; Jessi then added a running 3-pointer right before the third quarter buzzer to put Worth County up 26-5. Ashlyn Barnett added a 3-pointer, Anna Gladstone scored off a pass from Kaylee McElvain, and Anna hit Kristen New as Worth County pulled away to a 33-9 win.
