Winterset At Carroll High
Carroll High 66
Winterset 62
Carroll made just enough plays down the stretch to pull out a tight win over Winterset in a game that changed leads 18 times and was tied 9 times. Both teams had runs but the Carroll defense and rebounding late turned out to be the difference. Carroll forced a couple turnovers on the Huskies final couple of possessions and hit 2 of 5 from the free throw line.

Jack White made a nice strip of the ball with Carroll up 65-62 with under 20 seconds remaining and Carroll came up with the loose ball.
