SUMMER JAM
16u Sweet 16 round
NORTH TARTAN 15s 77, ALL IOWA ATTACK RED 42
North Tartan, playing up, used their size and balance in beating All Iowa Attack Red 77-42. I got there late for the start of this contest due to the different court assignments. Five NT15 players had 9 or more points, two AIAR players had 9+. Laura Melquist had a big day with 19 points (when I charted) and combined with Kayla Hirt had 31 points between them inside. AIAR had 8 inside. It was already 11-5 for NT15 when I got situated.
NT15 ran off a 20-6 run to lead 31-11. AIAR took a time out to regroup. Part of the reason for the run up was three point plays on NT15 possessions. Gabby Boever hit a three, and on the next possession converted an &1. On another NT15 possession Melquist made the first free throw and A
ngela Christenson scored on the put back after the second missed. Melquist and Boever each had six in that run. AIAR had a seven possession drought at the same time. The most interesting play in this game came with 0.6 seconds left in the half. NT15 had the ball under the basket and called a time out. They brought in Angela Christenson who caught Rachel Banham's pass in the air, and shot in the air for a 36-19 NT15 lead at the half.
NT15 continued to blaze away at the nets. They scored on nine straight possessions in the second half, a 15-9 run. Hirt had six in that run. In another 15-6 run the NT15 posts (Melquist and Hurt) combined for 12 points.
