Three members of the Rothsay girls basketball team scored in double figures on Friday night as the Tigers handled Hillcrest Lutheran Academy 71-36.

Jayna Gronewold (20 points, 6 rebounds, 7 steals), Jenna Fabre (17 points, 6 rebounds) and Madison Tillman (16 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals) led the Tigers in the victory.

"We played with a lot of energy on defense which led to some easy baskets on offense," said Rothsay Head Coach Anita Heier.  "We shot 47% on the night with eight different people scoring.  I'm very proud of our efforts."

Leaders for Hillcrest were Olivia Foss (14 points, 3 steals, 5 rebounds), Abby Heikes (9 points) and Mackenzie Foss (9 points, 9 rebounds).

"Rothsay came ready to play and we were caught on our heels the majority of the game," said Hillcrest Head Coach Hannah Clark.  "We had way too many turnovers and our poor defensive effort led to wide open shots for Rothsay."

Hillcrest will play at Parkers Prairie on Tuesday and Rothsay is off until next Friday when they close their regular season schedule at New York Mills.
