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.

It was the tale of two halves Monday, Jan. 25, as the North Callaway (7) girls opened play against Elsberry (2) in the 96th annual Bowling Green Tournament. The Thunderbirds held Elsberry to only 2 first-quarter points, and carried a commanding 20-7 lead into the half.
As the second half got underway, the tempo shifted Elsberry’s way as the Indian defense locked down, holding the Thunderbirds scoreless in the third quarter, entering the fourth with a 20-20 tie.
