The pregame featured an award ceremony for North's Audrey Stupp. She recently set a single game record for North - scoring 43 points. This eclipsed Rachael Heindl's single game record of 40 points. Current TCN Coach O'Dell held the record previous to this with 29 points. Pictured above is a 'Triple Threat' of top scorers.
Ansonia was cold shooting from the field against Tri-County
North. They ran with the Panthers in the
1st quarter when the play was focused on transition. They were only
behind by 5 – 19 to 14. It began at a fast pace with both teams running the
court. But when the game settled down
into a half court pace, that change favored North. They scored both inside and outside. Meanwhile Ansonia was cold in their half
court sets. A 10 point half time deficit
grew and by games end it was 65-44 in favor of North....

In the losing effort Mylan Crews captured the career steals record at Twin Valley South with 258 now on the season with still 7 games yet to play. Mylan topped Cindy Shannon's career record from 1991.
Mississinawa Valley is in the middle of a rough
stretch. Two of their varsity players
were recently injured in a car crash and are undergoing a concussion
protocol. So 2 down is tough enough for
any team. Then the Blackhawks lost their
league leading rebounder Sidnie Hunt to an accident at a skating rink over the
weekend. Hunt had dislocated a finger
and was also not available for the game.
So when it rains – it pours for
the Blackhawks. Three players down, the
Blackhawks limped into Tuesdays game against the Panthers. Their youth and inexperience showed as North
had their way in a 55-18 victory.
