SWEET 16
FIRST ROUND
NEW PRAGUE Trojans 59, WOODBURY royals 38

due to the volume of games, these reports will be shorter and I will come back to fill in the gaps. Thanks for your patience.

New Prague defeated bigger class Woodbury 59-38.
The Trojans quickly jumped out to a 14-3 lead with a 7/8 offensive sequence. NP scored the first five times they had the ball. Brit Rynda and Maggie Weiers each had six points of the first 14 for NP. Woodbury put the clamps on NP toward the end of the first quarter. After an initial 175 pp100 in their first 8 possessions, NP cooled considerably with a 27.3 pp100. Woodbury tied the game up at 19 with two free throws by Jessica Thone. Amanda Wagner made one free throw to finish the half with New Prague clinging to a 20-19 lead.

In the second half NP had a slight advantage in the first half of the third quarter, but put the pedal to the metal with five straight scores including two threes in a 11-4 run. NP won the quarter 21-9 to lead 41-28. Woodbury couldn't climb out of that hole as NP again won the quarter 18-10. Rena Kneeland had 12 points to lead NP.
