Girls: Tigers 49, ACGC 44
Rebounding was a big strength for the MACA girls in their exciting home win over Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City. Cheers from the home crowd grew in volume as MACA mounted a second half comeback. We were down by eight points at halftime, 27-19. A grim night? Not at all, as the Tigers showed renewed determination in the second half. We outscored the Falcons 30-17. We breezed past the stunned Falcons to win in the 49-44 final. The game was played on Monday, Jan. 9, at home.
How important was the rebounding? We vacuumed the boards for 38 rebounds. Out skill in the paint began overwhelming the Falcons. Jenna Howden led that effort on the boards with eight rebounds, while Malory Anderson and Correy Hickman each collected six. Hickman was the assist leader with five. Anderson was tops in steals with three.
Anderson made the Tigers' only three-point shot. She was one of two Tigers scoring in double figures as she posted 13 points. Ashley Solvie put in ten points. Correy Hickman contributed nine points to the winning effort. Howden and Nicole Solvie each scored six points. Maddie Carrington scored three while Riley Decker had two.
ACGC had a balanced but not overwhelming scoring effort. Madison Denton led with the modest output of eight points. There were four Falcons each scoring seven points: Anna Grimsgard, Maree Lee, Kendra Miller and Lindsey Minnick. Addison Bernstein scored six points and Pailey Wilner put in two. Lee and Miller each sank a three-point shot.
Minnick and Bernstein co-led in rebounds with five. Lee dished out five assists. Miller stole the ball three times and Grimsgard had two steals.
