Cooper High School
Junior Eligible Tournament
NORTH TARTAN LARSON 62, 43 HOOPS OLSON 31

In the last game from Friday night it was again two teams I had not seen so far this year and it was another North Tartan team--this time Larson. NTL eventually caught fire with their bigger, powerful lineup. The fact was the three guards (Shakila Boler, Suriya McGuire, and Jennifer Dowd) had 32 of the 61 NTL points.

NTL did finish with the highest pp100 in any of the three games on Friday, but it didn't start out that way. 43HO scored first with an Angela Tauer shot from the left wing. NTL started off 1/6 and trailed 8-7. At the nine minute mark NTL led 14-8, but the next nine minutes NTL outscored 43HO 21-10. NTL kicked off a 7/8 offensive sequence with a pair of free throws by Katie Loberg. At half time it was 35-18. Amanda Zimmerman had 7 first half points for NTL.

In the second half 43HO was dry for the opening 12 possessions. NTL added 10 more points to their totals and led 45-18. NTL had a six possession scoring string later in the half with Boler scoring six straight points. NTL finished with a 62-31 double up win.

Taylor Young is out with mono, and Chelsea Poppens had high school events for NTL. Molly (not Hannah) Steele was missing for 43HO.
