Mt. Ayr 64, Murray 35
It had been a week since the Raiderettes had stepped onto the court for a live game Monday night against Murray.
A slow start saw the Mustangs keeping pace with the Raiderettes, but in the second half, Mount Ayr found the groove they were looking for and sped away with the victory.
“We got off to a slow start trying to make sure we got the win, but also making sure we were fresh for Tuesday night,” said coach Thad Streit. “Coach [Jerry] Shields always has his girls ready to play and they made us overthink things a little bit.”
Maddie Stewart has been on a roll lately, leading the team with 18 points, despite still nursing an injured ankle from early on in the season.
“She’s our primary ball-handler and still trying to recover from that ankle injury,” said coach Streit. “She’s doing what she can but we are trying to baby her in practice and be fresh for games.”
Stewart also led the team in steals with six and assists with five, while snagging four defensive rebounds as well.
Halsie Barnes scored 15 on the night and led the team in rebounds with five.
The Raiderettes improved to 8-5 on the season with the victory over the Mustangs, and faced a big Pride of Iowa match-up on Tuesday against Lenox, a match-up they are hoping to split after falling to them earlier in the season.
Results of the Lenox contest will appear in next week’s Record-News.
