The Raiderettes season ended on Friday, February 16 when they lost to Class 1A No. 12 Fremont-Mills in Tabor.
There, the Knights stayed unbeaten with a 23-0 record after beating Mount Ayr 59-29.
The Raiderettes end the season with a record of 16-7.
Fremont-Mills led by four points, 16-12 after the first quarter, but a 13-5 second-quarter run by the Knights gave Fremont-Mills a 12-point, 29-17 halftime lead.
The third quarter proved to be the difference as Mount Ayr only scored six points in the quarter while Fremont-Mills put up 20 points to take a 49-23 lead to the final quarter.
Mount Ayr was led by Breya Nickle with 11 points and 6 rebounds. Izzy Gilbertson had 7 points and 8 rebounds. The Raiderettes shot 22-percent from the floor, making 9-of-41 shots.
The Raiderettes did shoot well from the free throw line, making 10-for-14 attempts in the game.
Fremont-Mills didn’t shoot the best, making 36-percent from the floor, but were 76.5-percent from the line, making 13-of-17 attempts.
Fremont-Mills was led by sophomore Ella Thornton with 20 points while Izzy Weldon added 19 points.
“I thought we started well and hung in there, but then I felt it got very physical and we didn’t respond very well,” said Mount Ayr coach Thad Streit.
“We had a good season and we were playing some good basketball at the end of the season. I thought we got better each week. We were playing five underclassmen pretty regularly, so hopefully we can continue that progress in the offseason and pick up where we left off,” said Streit.
Mount Ayr could be the favorites next year in the Pride of Iowa Conference as they will return all five starters and will graduate only one player from this year’s team.
