Worth County's junior high girls played Platte Valley tough, but they couldn't get their offense going for much of the first half. They finally cut their deficit down to two, but then the lead grew back to 10 in the fourth quarter and they fell 28-20 Thursday.
Rylee Ruckman scored off a steal right off the bat, but nothing else went right for Worth County. Meanwhile, Platte Valley used scoring from five different players to build a 10-2 lead early in the second. Worth County was struggling to get any kind of offense going against Platte Valley's tight man to man; they were helping out hard, and shots were frequently blocked by Mya Wray and the much taller Platte Valley squad.
Kambree Briner got untracked, driving down the left baseline for a score and getting inside off an inbounds pass from Summer Riley, who had two assists in the quarter. That cut it to 12-6. A defensive lapse by the Tigers put Platte Valley up eight, but Ruckman had a free throw and then Kristen Tracy scored three straight to cut the Tiger deficit to 14-10 at the half.
Wray scored for Platte Valley to start the second half, but Briner scored off a steal. Emalee Langford countered with a drive for Valley, but then Ruckman hit a free throw, Briner scored off a pick and roll with Ruckman, and Brylea Paxson added a free throw to cut it to 18-16 after three.
But that was as close as Worth County would get, as Kenzie Redden got Platte Valley going again as they scored the first eight points of the fourth. Kristen Tracy scored four straight to bring the Tigers back to within eight at the end.
