Mapleton to record victory
Elks get second victory
of season over Sailors
before falling to Lowell
during Invitational

A fast start paired with the
team turning it on late when it
mattered resulted in the Elkton
boys beating Mapleton 46-32
last Friday at the North Doug-
las Invitational.
Aft er having a comfortable
double-digit lead from the sec-
ond-quarter on, the Sailors cut
the defi cit to single digits half-
way through the fourth quarter.
Th e Elkton off ense had stalled
and the team was being out-
scored 9-4 on the quarter. Af-
ter a timeout, the team fl ipped
the switch on both ends of the
court and put together an 8-0
run in less than two minutes of
play to record their second win
of the season.
“We’re going to kind of be
like that. We’re going to play in
spurts like that because that’s
the kind of kids we have. Obvi-

ously we want to extend those
big-play spurts so that’s kind
of going to be our m.o.,” said
Elkton head coach Gary Trout.
“Th e key is just doing what
we’re supposed to do. Making
sure we’re running the right of-
fense, getting ourselves where
we need to be on defense and
boxing out every time. And
getting that consistency. If we
can get that consistency, we can
be a pretty good team.”
Mason Cox led the Elks with
14 points as Austin Luzier add-
ed 10 on the night.
With Mapleton running a
zone defense throughout the
night, the Elks got to utilize
their zone off ense which had
not seen much use on the sea-
son.
“We haven’t seen a lot of zone
so I knew we were going to be
kind of herky-jerky against
that. So it was good for us to see
and work against that. We were
starting to get into a pretty de-
cent fl ow in spurts,” said Trout.
Elkton lost to Lowell 54-36
on Saturday. Luzier had eight
points and fi ve assists for the
Elks.
Th e team will next play at the
McKenzie Hoops Classic on
Dec. 27.

North Douglas offensive lull
against Lowell enough for win
Warriors win on
Friday, fall to Country
Christian in overtime
on Saturday

Friday’s matchup between
North Douglas and Lowell was
not an off ensive showcase. Aft er
one quarter of play, the Warriors
led 4-0 on the way to a 24-12
victory during the fi rst night of
the North Douglas Winter Invi-
tational.
“We’re growing and some-
times in our world today we put
so much stock in making bas-
kets,” said North Douglas head
coach Jeff Davis. “So we told
the kids at halft ime – we’re not
blaming, because no one is try-
ing to miss shots – but I think
we had six maybe seven layups
in the fi rst half and missed some
free throws. So in our mind,
rather than (up) 10-2… we
could have had 22, 23 points
and then just won going away.
But that’s not yet who we are.”
Both teams had balanced
scoring across the board as
North Douglas had fi ve players
fi nish with four points (Sofi a
Alcantar, Abby Whipple, Ri-
ley Black, Samantha MacDow-
ell and Bailey Holcomb) and
Lowell had six players with two
points. No one on Lowell made
multiple fi eld goals in the game.

the off ensive end, the Warriors off ense late as they scored 10
were seemingly in control the points in the third quarter to
whole game as the Lowell of- take an insurmountable 20-8
fense was unable to get to their lead heading into the fourth.
Rilie-Jo Olds led North Doug-
spots in the fi rst half. North
Douglas fi nished the game with las with fi ve rebounds while
17 steals as the Red Devils had Natalie Th ompson, Alcantar
and Black each recorded four
31 turnovers on the night.
“We’re going to have to hang boards. Alcantar also had six
our hat on defense because we’re steals while Whipple added fi ve.
On Saturday night the War-
not going to outscore anybody.
So there may be a lot of these riors off ense was in full-gear in a
kind of games,” said Davis. “I 52-51 overtime loss to Country
would prefer having to grind Christian. Sarah Phillips led the
through one and learn from it visiting Cougars with 34 points
then beat someone by 40 and and 15 rebounds.
Th e Warriors had 13 points
get a false sense of some kind of
from Th ompson and 11 from
confi dence there.”
Th e Warriors found their both Whipple – including a
three-pointer to force overtime
– and Black.
