The Tigers showed a superior flair right from the start. So we led 40-11 at halftime. We applied finishing touches with a 22-15 second half advantage. Our success was with five 3-pointers. Cate Kehoe made two of these, while these teammates each had one: Meredith Carrington, Brianna Marty and Sydney Dietz.
It was Carrington atop our scoring list with her 16 points. Maddy Grove and Kaylee Harstad each scored ten. The West Central Tribune coverage omits some first names. I'm fairly knowledgeable with the first names anyway, but I whiff on Koehl and Kindstock. I have not even seen the latter name before. Well, welcome to the varsity scoring picture!
Kehoe's point total: 9. Dietz finished with eight points followed by Kindstock 4, Marty 3 and Koehl 2. The WC Tribune had "N/A" for other stat categories.
None of the Benson players scored in double figures. Here's their list: Madi Wrobleski 9, Presley Nygaard 5, Kaylin Grube 4, Marley Rush 4, Kaida Helgenset 2 and Adysen Himley 2. Nygaard and Wrobleski each made a 3-pointer. The WC Trib has "N/A" for the other stat categories. The newspaper wants people to pay to consume this coverage.
Tigers 63, Paynesville 45
Fans at Tiger Center enjoyed the home team's win over Paynesville on Thursday, Feb. 3. The score was 63-45. Maddy Grove came to the fore in this contest with her 20 points. She also asserted herself to corral nine rebounds. Add to that, five assists and three steals.
The Tigers shot with 46 percent success. In 3's we were pretty reliable with 7 of 15. Coach Dale Henrich had to be pleased with the ball-handling proficiency: just eight turnovers. Cate Kehoe and Sydney Dietz each put in 14 points. Dietz dished out seven assists.
Meredith Carrington supplied six assists to complement her nine points scored. Kaylee Harstad was part of the winning mix with ten rebounds. All in all a pleasing night for fans of the orange and black. Paynesville is having a sub-.500 campaign.
Sorry, yours truly should have posted on the Paynesville game earlier. Do you realize how "snowed" your mind can get when you seek to follow high school sports? Better late than never. I guess on Sunday I was eager to put up the boys basketball Saturday game vs. Osakis. It was a significant game as it brought our first loss of the season. The MACA boys do not have the world-beating look right now. Their previous game was a win but by just two points over Redwood Valley.
Boys hockey: Storm 6, Prairie Centre 1
The Storm climbed above .500 to 11-10-1 with their home win (on the Morris ice) over Prairie Centre. Brady DeHaan led the Storm's surging efforts with his hat trick. Action was on Thursday, Feb. 3. Prairie Centre is below-.500.
Things began nicely for the Morris skaters with a 2-0 advantage in period No. 1. It was DeHaan who began the scoring with an assist from Kaleb Breuer.

DeHaan did the job again for goal No. 4, this time with Ryan Tolifson's assist.
Then it was Prairie Centre's Derrick Sorenson scoring unassisted at 12:44. Prairie Centre would not score again.
The Storm's advantage in the third period was by 2-0. Cole Blume did the job at 3:21 on the power play. He got an assist from Tyler Hadfield. The night's final goal was by Sam Thompson, unassisted at 9:28.
