Mid-Prairie junior Maddie Nonnenmann was an elite all-conference team member. She led the Golden Hawks at 13 points per game, seventh most in the RVC south. Her seven rebounds per night were also a team best and seventh in the south. She also had 35 assists and 33 steals.
The two seniors on this year’s edition of the Golden Hawks were named to the all-south division team. Guard Myah Lugar finished her Golden Hawk career this season scoring eight points per game to go along with five rebounds a night. Her 35 made three point goals this season were fifth in the division. Lugar was seventh in the River Valley south with 59 assists and her 50 steals were 10th most.
This week the Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk girls basketball team traveled to Camanche and returned with a 56-34 River Valley Conference win. The Hawks started fast, with a 17-6 run that spanned the entire first quarter, they led 29-18 at half. Out of the locker room, another big run, this time 16-6 that lasted the entire third quarter stretched the lead to 45-24 and Mid-Prairie would not look back. This week, Mid-Prairie head coach Danny Hershberger talked about the win. “It was a long bus trip with the distance and the weather, but we were able to come out and play well even after that. Amara Jones came out and was aggressive offensively. She’s a good shooter and we have been talking with her about getting more shots up. Maddie Nonnenmann and Phelan Hostetler continued to play well offensively. We recognized we had a height advantage inside that we wanted to use so we got the ball to them and they did a great job scoring it.”
