Shamrock Girls Fall to South Holt in Holiday Hoops

North Harrison’s girls fell 41-25 in the Holiday Hoops Classic December 27th to South Holt. The Knights had been a doormat team for the last several years, but showed some life in some games last year, downing Rock Port. They are greatly improved this year, beating Nodaway-Holt, which started North Harrison’s losing streak.

The first and third quarters undid the Shamrocks. They were outscored in the first quarter 7-1. They rallied to close to within 16-12 at the half, only to have a bad third quarter as they were outscored 14-3. The Shamrocks continued to struggle with turnovers this year, as they turned it over 37 times against South Holt.

Emma Craig led the scoring for North Harrison, as she scored 14. Seven different players scored, but it wasn’t enough. Camden Castleberry had 3, Kami Gibson, Deva Wallace, and Addie Slaughter had 2, and Rainey Fordyce and Mason Cracraft had 1. Castleberry had the lone 3-pointer for North Harrison. The Shamrocks were ice cold from the field, shooting only 7 for 21.

North Harrison stayed in the game thanks to their free throws. They were 10 for 17 for the game.
Emma Craig had a double double as she had 10 boards to go with her 14 points. Addie Slaughter also had 10. Kami Gibson had 4, and Mason Cracraft and Olivia Babinski had 1 each.

Kami Gibson had 3 assists. Mason Cracraft and Olivia Babinski had 1.

Mason Cracraft had 2 steals, while Kami Gibson, Deva Wallace, Emma Craig, Olivia Babinski, and Addie Slaughter had 1. Emma Craig had a blocked shot.

North Harrison did much better against Grundy County, one of the top two teams in the HDC this year along with Mercer. They still lost, but they put up a tough fight before falling 50-42 Friday.
