The Audubon Wheelers had a tough match up against the Newell Fonda Mustangs Friday night, where they would fall to the defending state champions. The Wheelers would begin the contest pretty well scoring the first four points and going toe to toe with the Mustangs. At one point, both teams would be tied up at 11 points in the first quarter with Aleah Hermensen and Jaci Christensen leading the charge. But, the Mustangs were able to close out the first quarter with a 7-0 run to lead it 18-11. The Mustangs would take charge in the second quarter and play the aggressive, in your face style of basketball that most teams have come to know. The Mustangs would score 22 points in the second quarter and cause many Wheeler turnovers to take a 40-21 lead at halftime.

The Carroll Tigers fought all night against the Raccoon River Conference’s number one team Ballard Bombers, but fell just short of knocking them off. The first quarter would be all Carroll as they would lead for most of the quarter and end with the 9-8 lead. The returning Ella Collison would lead the team with seven points in that quarter. Collison sustained a knee injury after Tuesday’s contest against Winterset, but was feeling great and was scoring great against the Bombers. Heading into the second quarter against the undefeated Bombers, the Tigers would keep the game close to them going into halftime trailing 19-17. Collison would lead all scorers with 10 first half points. Also scoring for the Tigers that half was Gabi Hammer with five points and Camryn Schable with two points.

nd win of the season. The Wildcats for a second straight game started quickly this time getting out 8-0 behind 3’s from Tiela Janssen and Paige Klocke. Much like the game Tuesday against CAM Anita the Wildcats then gave up a run to fall behind. They trailed 10-8 late in the 1
st quarter but unlike Tuesday the Wildcats had an answer tonight. They went back ahead 11-10 at the end of the 1
st quarter and after falling behind 15-14 got three straight 3’s to go up for good at 23-15. Tiela Janssen hit a couple of those 3’s as the Wildcats extended the lead to 29-16 and led at the half 29-18.
