NV 55, Mt. Ayr 52
Mount Ayr hosted the Nodaway Valley Wolverines in what would be their second matchup this season, with the first going to the Wolverines at Wells Fargo by a score of 50-30.
This contest was a little bit different, as the Raiderettes held their own, however, ultimately, taking a three point loss to the high-powered Wolverine offense.
“Our girls gave one heck of an efford,” said coach Thad Streit. “We played with so much heart and determination. To come up just three points short is deflating, but I am so proud of how they played. I have told them many times the last few weeks that we are as good as we want to be and this game showed our potential.”
The Raiderettes shot well on the night, hitting 51 percent of their shots, making 17-of-33, six of which were from beyond the three-point arc and 12 shots were sank from the free throw line, out of 17 attempts.

The Raiderettes recorded nine steals and 14 assists, along with 25 rebounds.
Leading the team in points was Tabby Henle, who has shown a lot of improvement throughout the season.

After the game, Bedford announced head coach Kenny Weed is calling it a career after this season and along with current and former players, the Raiderettes congratulated coach Weed on a great career.
“This game is always a tough game, as Bedford is a tough place to play,” said coach Streit. “Our girls did a good job of playing defense and we were much more patient on offense. Getting the win tonight was nice, but it was also special to see coach Weed’s ceremony after the game.”
The Raiderettes saw three girls in double digit points and one on the edge, led by Maddie Stewart with 16, Halsie Barnes with 13, Tegan Streit with 10 and Tabby Henle with nine.

The third quarter saw the Mount Ayr girls ready to go, outscoring Interstate-35 18-9 before finishing out the game on top 61-31.
“Our girls played so hard and Monday games have never been very good to us,” said coach Streit. “I told them you’re supposed to get better as the season goes and I think we are starting to peak. We are getting high percentage shots, we are getting to the line. They played so hard tonight.”
