The Worth County girls dropped all three of their games at the Albany Tournament. Against King City, they have been competitive with them over the last few years and had every reason to expect another competitive game with them to open the tournament Tuesday. But instead, all hell broke loose and they couldn’t stop Grace Schottel on defense and they couldn’t score a basket on offense until the second quarter, when they were already down 14-0. They struggled against the King City press and they were in confusion much of the game as they fell in a running clock loss, 44-15.
Payton Adwell had 8 points to lead the Tigers. Haley Hunt had 4, Dominique Findley 2, and Tess Andrews 1.
Sometimes, when playing under a new coach, teams struggle when they shouldn’t. The Tigers did better against powerhouse South Harrison Thursday night – "As different as night and day," as new coach Sean Thurm put it. But the Tigers still did not compete, falling 57-21 against South Harrison.
That put them in the consolation round against archrival Albany. They did a better job of putting points on the board, but they let Shelby Fish run wild against them as she put up 27 points for the Warriors, who have already improved on last year’s standings. Consequently, Worth County lost another non-competitive game 61-40 Friday night. They dug themselves into a 13-5 hole at the end of one quarter and were outscored in every quarter. They did not win a single quarter at the Albany Tournament. They did too much hacking and fouling; they sent Albany to the line 25 times and the Warriors made 21 of those attempts.
They did show promise for the future as a freshman, Haley Hunt, led them in scoring with 16 points. Aubrey Ragan had 9, Jessi Badell had 5, Tess Andrews and Sidney Troutwine had 3 each, and Dominique Findley and Payton Adwell had 2 each. Ragan, Haley Hunt, and Badell all posted career highs.
