Worth County’s girls got off to a bad start at the Stanberry Tournament and then were ousted by North Andrew the next night.
In Tuesday’s 54-17 loss to Jefferson, Worth County played what Coach Sean Thurm said was their “worst half of the year.” “It got ugly fast,” he said. Worth County fell behind 18-2 after one quarter and then fell behind 38-3 at the half before playing Jefferson evenly the rest of the way. The focus of the team will be on playing four quarters of basketball instead of just one or two.
The hacking and fouling that has plagued them much of this year continued, as the Tigers sent Jefferson to the line 23 times that night, while only getting to the line six times.
Payton Adwell led Worth County in scoring with 7 points and one 3-pointer. Haley Hunt had 4 and Tess Andrews, Dominique Findley, and Rikky Hunt all had 2.
If Tuesday night was their worst half, Wednesday might have been their worst quarter of the year as they fell behind 32-2 against North Andrew before losing 62-21. Again, it was a matter of not putting together four quarters of basketball. After that, they settled down and played nearly evenly with the Cardinals, but the damage was done.
Rikky Hunt and Dominique Findley led the scoring for Worth County with 5 points each. Payton Adwell had 4 along with Haley Hunt, and Jessi Badell had 3. The girls tried again Tuesday night as they traveled to King City. Other possible winnable games for them include dates with Polo, Albany, and East Harrison. The goal will be to cut down on fouls and put together four quarters of basketball.
