Worth County’s junior high girls won their second straight game Tuesday night, turning back several Pattonsburg charges and getting the 27-23 win. The Panthers, with coaching institution Bill Pottorff at the helm, started off strong playing his brand of swarming, pressing basketball. Addi Iddings, younger sister of Pattonsburg’s quarterback and defensive stopper, scored five early points; much like her brother on the gridiron, she served as a floor general for the Panthers, making everyone else around her better. Carly Pittsenbarger added a steal as the Panthers led it at one point 7-4. But then Worth County found their footing under them and erased the lead, getting a baseline shot from Megan Tracy and a putback from Kristen Tracy to grab the lead 8-7 after the first quarter. It didn’t help the Panthers that their best post player, Taylen Fore, sat much of the game with foul trouble.
The Tiger lead grew to five at 12-7 as Kristen Tracy scored from the right wing and added an inside shot. But then Kambree Briner got her third foul and sat, opening the barn door for Pattonsburg to come back. Pittsenbarger cut it to 12-9 at the half and then Jayden Goble cut it to 12-11 to start the third.
Kristen Tracy got a putback after a Tiger steal and then Keira Hardy got a steal and fed Audrey Runde to make it 16-11. But then Runde picked up her third foul and Pattonsburg came back again as Goble cut it to 16-13 and then Pittsenbarger tied it with a three point play.
But then Tracy got a third chance putback and Iddings picked up her fourth foul and sat. Briner and Runde came back for Worth County and stayed away from their fourth foul. Briner hit a free throw, Megan Tracy hit from the left wing after a pass from Audrey Runde, and Kambree Briner added a steal with 5 seconds left in the third quarter to make it 23-16.
Pattonsburg rushed their starters back in to start the fourth quarter and they made a run at the Tigers as Iddings knocked one down from the right wing and Goble connected to make it 23-20. But then Megan Tracy scored in traffic and Kristen Tracy added a putback for the dagger before Cheyenne Miller hit a 3-pointer for Pattonsburg at the buzzer.
