With a height disadvantage, the Toppers would have their
hands full, but they had the Raiders number for the first half
matching them bucket for bucket.
After a tie game at the half, 19 – 19, the Raiders put together
a 13 – 6 third quarter advantage that would prove too deep for
the Toppers to overcome. The Toppers fell to 4 – 4 with the
50-36 loss.
Skylar Hayes led the Toppers in scoring with 14 while Ainsley
Chandler had 8, Breanna Rentmeister 6, Alyssa Bridge 5, and
Hailey Moore 3. Moore also ripped down 5 rebounds in the effort
and Elizabeth Seibert 4.
Lady Toppers vs. Maroa-Forsyth Lady Trojans
On Tuesday, the Lady Toppers found themselves in Maroa-Forsyth
where freshman, Skylar Hayes, hit a career high 33 points to
lead her team to an exciting overtime victory.
The Toppers took a commanding lead at half time 40 – 23, and it
looked like it was going to be an easy night for the ladies.
The Maroa Lady Trojans had other plans for the Toppers and came
storming back with a barrage of long 3’s and a never say never
attitude.
At the end of regulation, the score was all tied at 49.
In overtime, the Lady Toppers appeared to regroup and get back
to business where they outscored the Trojans to get the win, 57
– 51.
Following Hayes in scoring was Breanna Rentmeister with 6,
Ainsley Chandler, Alyssa Bridge and Ashley Houser all with 5,
and Hailey Moore 3. Hayes also grabbed 8 rebounds and Chandler 6
in the victory.
The Lady Toppers, 5 – 4, host Springfield Lutheran tonight
