The Underwood girls basketball team took a 21-0 lead Thursday night and went on to defeat the Rothsay Tigers by the score of 68-46 in a Little Eight Conference game in Underwood.

 

"After a very good start we got a little lazy on both ends of the floor," noted Underwood Head Coach Brian Hovland.  "Rothsay did a great job of hitting their open shots and we went cold.  The second half started out the same way the first ended.  We were able to get in a rhythm offensively about five minutes into the half and go on a run.  I was veryhappy withi how balanced our scoring was."

Ceri Meech (14 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals), Morgan Evavold (13 points, 10 rebounds), Kayla Rocholl (12 points, 5 rebounds, 6 steals), Ally Johnson (9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 assists), Brooke Hovland (7 points, 6 rebounds) and Josey Bugbee (6 points, 5 rebounds) all put up good numbers for the Rocket girls.

Underwood (15-2) won for a sixth straight time.  They will play Brandon-Evansville on Tuesday night in Brandon. 

Rothsay (2-17) suffered their seventh consecutive loss.  They will be in Hancock Monday night to face the Owls.
