Reese Crismon led Twin Rivers with nine points.

Naylor 73, Clearwater 23

Chloe Mitchell led Naylor with 30 points, one of her highest scoring games all season, while Harley Sullivan added 23.

“For us it’s all about how much effort we are willing to put in,” Naylor head coach Logan Foster said aftewards. “Overall tonight, we played pretty hard. We got into some foul trouble during the second quarterbut after halftime we were able to put pressure on the ball. That led to some easy buckets. I was proud of my team tonight.”

Woodland 51, Puxico 33

At Puxico, the Lady Indians fell to Woodland.

Laney Parker (16 points) and Adi Denny (10) led Puxico in the loss.

“We played well in the first half rebounded and shot it well,” Puxico head coach Trent Copling said. “The second half was a different story. They beat us on the boards and had way too many turnovers. They upped their pressure and we didn’t handle it well.”

Lesterville 73, Greenville 52

At Greenville, the Lady Bears fell to Lesterville.

Jenna Marler (18 points) and Ashlynn West (14) were the top scorers for Greenville.
