Brincks Exteriors Sports Report: Carroll, SCC, and IKM-Manning Girls’ Basketball Victorious Tuesday Night

South Central Calhoun 58

East Sac 37

South Central Calhoun took advantage of East Sac’s cold shooting in the 1st half and did what good teams do, built a 35-14 lead at the half. The Raiders showed the fight that makes you think this young team will be tough over the next several years and could be a tough out in the postseason. The Titans had three players in double figures by half, doing a nice job working the ball into the lane and kicking to shooters on the wing. The Raiders got shots to fall in the 2nd half, as Makenna Steiger got hot from three and Mary Bontrager started having success in the lane. The Raiders pulled within 14 in the 2nd half but the Titans stretched the lead back out late.

Kylee Schleisman hit an early three, Riley Batta hit a pair of free throws and Brenna McAlister knocked down a shot and South Central Calhoun started the game up 7-0. Makenna Steiger hit a three to get the Raiders on the board.  The Titans stretched the lead to 13-3 and led 19-7 at the end of the 1st quarter. Jen Aschinger hit a three for East Sac to start the 2nd quarter but Kylee Schleisman answered with a three and a pair of free throws, putting the Titans up 27-10. Brenna McAlister made it 29-10 as the Titans led 35-14 at the half.

Riley Batta hit a pair of free throws early in the 3rd, giving South Central Calhoun their largest lead at 38-16. Makenna Steiger heated up for the Raiders with back-to-back threes, pulling the Raiders within 38-22. Schleisman and Batta built the lead back to 20 but Chloe Beiret drained a three and East Sac cut it to 17. Mary Bontrager hit a bucket, Beiret scored a bucket and Makenna Steiger knocked in a free throw, pulling the Raiders within 44-30. Riley Batta and Brenna McAlister both scored, giving the momentum back to South Central Calhoun. The lead never got below 15 for the rest of the game.

South Central Calhoun improves to 15-5 and will host Manson NW Webster next Tuesday in the postseason. The game will be on KIKD 106.7 East Sac falls to 4-17 and opens its postseason on Saturday at IKM-Manning on 93.7 KKRL.

Audubon at IKM-Manning Girls

IKM-Manning 54

Audubon 35

The Audubon Wheelers and IKM-Manning Wolves wrapped up their regular seasons Tuesday night as the Wolves hosted the Wheelers. 

IKM-Manning honored their seniors with this final regular season game and their seniors showed out on the floor. Both teams didn’t see much for offense in the first quarter as both committed plenty of turnovers off travel calls. IKM-Manning got the slight nod with Mabel Langel putting up five points to put the Wolves ahead 9-4. Morgan Hanson and Taylor Beckendorf started to have better nights in the second quarter with Hanson draining a three-pointer and adding five points to their lead while Beckendorf hustled all night long and had four points in the quarter. Audubon was trying to drive the IKM-Manning defense away so they could go for three-point shots, but they were unable to get any of them to go their way. The Wolves ended up with 15 points and led 24-13 at halftime.

Audubon kept trying to go for three-point shots in the third quarter and finally were able to put up three of them, two coming from Sienna Albertsen. With that momentum, the Wheelers were able to match the Wolves offensively, only being outscored by one point at 14-13. IKM-Manning kept attacking the basket offensively and Beckendorf again had some great plays and had three points added to her stat line. In the final eight minutes, the Wolves kept the Wheelers at bay leading 38-26. Langel didn’t play for much of the third quarter, but came back in the fourth and popped off with nine points, ending the game with 19 for a team-high. The Wolves let the rest of the clock wind down and were victorious by a final score of 54-35.

The Wolves conclude the regular season with a record of 7-15 overall and 7-8 in the Western Iowa Conference. Audubon finishes with a record of 2-19 overall and 2-12 in the conference. The playoffs are up next for both teams, Audubon will travel to Coon Rapids Bayard on Thursday, February 9th while IKM-Manning will host East Sac on Saturday, February 11th. Jeff Blankman will have both of those games on 93.7 KKRL.
