  In a game that came down to the wire, the Carroll Tigers were unable to come back and win on Saturday against Winterset. The day for the Tigers started off slower than they would have liked it, unable to get shots to fall for them. Winterset used the Tigers’ slow start to go up 12-2 in the first quarter and end up at 31-20 at halftime.    The second half for the Tigers was much improved as they started to chip away at the Huskies lead. The Tigers would go on a 9-4 run to start the third ...

Carroll hung tough for the 1 st half but for the second time this season Ballard was able to pull away in the 2 nd half. Kennedy Lein helped spark the Tigers early as Carroll got up 5-2 and 6-4. Ballard grabbed their first lead at 8-6 and didn’t trail again but Carroll only trailed 14-11 after the 1 st quarter. Carroll pulled within 17-13 early in the 2 nd quarter and the lead remained around 6 points until Ballard scored just before half to take a 21-13 lead into the locker room. The Tigers ...

  Carroll received a good defensive effort on the road and used a pair of 3’s in the 2 nd quarter to improve to 6-5 overall and 4-5 in the Raccoon River Conference. The Tigers have won 3 straight to start the 2 nd half of the season. Gabi Hammer and Laura Sweeney knocked down some big 3’s in the 2 nd quarter as Carroll rallied from down 3 at the end of the 1 st quarter to take the lead for good at 23-20 at half. Ella Collison led the way in the win with 11 points. Carroll will be Glibert o...

The Knights played well on the road in the 1 st half as they built a lead at the halftime. Brooklyn Gifford had another great shooting night hitting 6-3’s in the game helping Kuemper lead 17-6 after the 1 st quarter. Things continued to go well in the 2 nd quarter and Kuemper went into the haltime up by 6. They held onto the lead into the 4 th quarter before a few late turnovers allowed St Albert to take the lead and hold onto it late. The Knights did have a shot to win or tie it late but it ...

  The Carroll Tigers fought all night against the Raccoon River Conference’s number one team Ballard Bombers, but fell just short of knocking them off. The first quarter would be all Carroll as they would lead for most of the quarter and end with the 9-8 lead. The returning Ella Collison would lead the team with seven points in that quarter. Collison sustained a knee injury after Tuesday’s contest against Winterset, but was feeling great and was scoring great against the Bombers. Heading i...

Glidden Ralston looked sharp in garnering their 2 nd win of the season. The Wildcats for a second straight game started quickly this time getting out 8-0 behind 3’s from Tiela Janssen and Paige Klocke. Much like the game Tuesday against CAM Anita the Wildcats then gave up a run to fall behind. They trailed 10-8 late in the 1 st quarter but unlike Tuesday the Wildcats had an answer tonight. They went back ahead 11-10 at the end of the 1 st quarter and after falling behind 15-14 got three strai...

  The Tigers suffered a couple of blows on Tuesday as they dropped a conference home game to fall to 3-3 overall and 1-3 in the Raccoon River Conference and they lost Ella Collison their leading scorer and rebounder early in the game to an injury. Carroll had tied the game at 4 and 8 before Collison left the game and Winterset began to take control. The Huskies closed the quarter on a 6-0 run and led 14-8 heading into quarter two. Things didn’t get better for Carroll. They struggled on the o...

  Carroll wanted to work on coming out with quicker starts after slow starts in several games this season and they did that on Friday. The Tigers jumped ahead 20-0 with just over a minute left in the 1 st quarter before Perry scored. The defense pressure led to several run outs and easy layups and the Tigers moved the ball well in the half court and were able to Ella Collison, Kennedy Lein and Camryn Schable going on offense. Schable did a lot of her damage on the offense back boards and had 3...
