Worth County’s girls pulled away in the second half to beat St. Joseph Christian and get back on the winning track Friday 45-33. Worth County trailed 25-23 at the half, but then put down the clamps defensively on the Lions and outscored them 14-4 in the third quarter to take control.
Regan Allee led the scoring with 14 points – despite not getting a 3-pointer that night. It was her second double figure game in a row. Anna Gladstone had 11, Merrideth Spiers, Jessi Badell, Jill Hardy, and Kaylee McElvain had 4, and Jenna Smith and Haley Hunt had 2 each.
Worth County has struggled from the line over the last two years, but they won this battle from the line. They were 11 for 21 from the line, while Christian was 5 for 10.
The boys were not as fortunate, as they fell to St. Joseph Christian 40-24 and dropped their third straight. They accomplished one of their goals, holding standout Malik Tucker to only 7 points. But they could not hit the broadside of a barn that night. They trailed 19-15 at the half, but then went ice cold in the third, only getting three in the third and five in the fourth.
Caleb Parman had 11 to lead the Tigers. Mason Hawk had 6, Tevin Cameron 4, and Drake Kinsella 3.
Worth County had trouble getting to the line as they only made four trips, hitting one free throw. Christian was 8 for 10 from the line. Caleb Parman had all three of Worth County’s 3-pointers.
