Tiger Girls Can’t Hold Lead Against Wolves

Worth County’s win over South Holt was a temporary respite as they had to face another brutal, physical opponent Monday. East Atchison was only 12-10 as of their most recent game, but their record is misleading. They have gotten healthy again and won eight out of 10, scoring 41 or more points in all those games.

Nonetheless, the game was back and forth the whole night. Worth County led 16-13 after one. East Atchison came back to lead 27-26 after the break. Worth County seemingly took control by outscoring the Wolves 12-6 in the third. But East Atchison outscored Worth County 14-4 in the fourth to get the five point win.

Rylee Ruckman had 12 points for the Tigers. Kynah Steele had 10, Riley Ridge, Kambree Briner, and Kristen Tracy had 6 each, and Keira Hardy had 2. It was the kind of balanced scoring the Tigers had been looking for all year. They were 16 for 44 from the field for 36%. Rylee Ruckman had four 3-pointers. Worth County was 6 for 6 from the line. 

Kristen Tracy and Kynah Steele had 8 boards each. Rylee Ruckman had 3, Kambree Briner had 2, and Riley Ridge and Keira Hardy had 1.

Kristen Tracy had 6 assists. Kynah Steele had 4, and Rylee Ruckman had 2.

Kristen Tracy had 3 steals. Kambree Briner, Rylee Ruckman, Kynah Steele, and Keira Hardy all had 1. Kynah Steele had 2 tips and Kambree Briner and Riley Ridge had 1. 

Riley Ridge had 1 block.

Worth County will try again this Thursday against a Maysville squad that has only won three games, but is improving and has a lot more firepower than last year.
