Glidden Ralston at Ogden
Glidden Ralston 42
Ogden 40
It was the Paige Klocke show during Glidden Ralston’s road game against Ogden as she helped the Wildcats come back from a 10-point deficit to win it on a last second shot from Vanessa Koehler.
The Wildcats started off well enough against the Bulldogs as they got out to a 12-9 lead after the first quarter concluded. Ogden started to pull away in the second quarter as they grabbed their first lead of the contest late in the second quarter. In the final minute of the first half, the Bulldogs were able to sink a buzzer beater to take their first lead of the game at 20-17 going into halftime. Paige Klocke had another big scoring night for the Wildcats, and her best performance came in the third quarter.
The Bulldogs expanded upon that buzzer beating shot by getting up by as much as 10 points to start the third quarter. Klocke had other plans as she’d bring the Wildcats back into the game by scoring eight straight points to cut down the Bulldog lead to 28-26 going into the fourth quarter. Another hard-fought quarter between both teams occurred in the fourth, and it all came down to a final second shot. Vanessa Koehler grabbed an inbound pass with 1.8 second left in the game and was able to sink an eight-footer to seal it for Glidden Ralston as the Wildcats escaped with the 42-40 victory over Ogden.

Earlham at Coon Rapids Bayard
Earlham 50
Coon Rapids Bayard 43
Coon Rapids Bayard had a tough time keeping up with Earlham in the first quarter; they’d handle the game better later down the stretch, but ultimately fall to the Cardinals Monday night.
The Cardinals handled the ball well to start off the first quarter as they’d get up on the Crusaders 19-9.

The Crusaders snapped out of their lulls from the first quarter to take over offensively, outscoring the Cardinals 15-11 in the second quarter to cut down the Earlham lead to 30-24. Brynn Bass and Breeley Clayburg were a big part of the efforts in that quarter and in the game overall. Bass ended with a team high 17 points while Clayburg ended with a double-double with 10 points and 17 rebounds for Coon Rapids Bayard. Crusaders head coach Kaitlyn McAlister says her team did a good job of playing defense later down the stretch and rebounding the ball well.
Earlham and Coon Rapids Bayard’s third quarter was a close affair with the Cardinals staying ahead by a score of 42-35. Later in the fourth quarter, Earlham missed some crucial one and ones which allowed Coon Rapids Bayard to stay close to the Cardinals lead. While the Crusaders had chances, they’d ultimately match the fourth quarter scoring of the Cardinals at eight points, allowing Earlham to pull ahead and win by seven points at 50-43.
