The North Callaway girls were held to three second-half points in a 33-23 loss to Elsberry Thursday night. It was a game that hinted at the two teams’ previous matchup in the Bowling Green Tournament as Callaway again relinquished a first-half lead with a cold second half.
Leading 20-11 entering the half, Callaway was outscored 22-3 in the final two periods.
While the offense was cold, the Thunderbird defense proved stingy. But the offensive woes were significant including only three assists for the game and 0-for-15 shooting from the field in the second half.
Abrielle Burgher and Ryelle Schmauch had 6 points each to lead North Callaway. Burgher added 4 steals. Kyanne Kellerman had 5 points and 10 rebounds.
