Lady Potters 77, Champaign Central 43
In the morning half of a day-night twin bill to open their Thanksgiving tournament, the Potters allowed the Champaign girls no hope.
At halftime, already up 45-21, coach Bob Becker said, " I challenged 'em to be dominant" in the third quarter, "and we actually were dominant."
They scored the quarter's first 10 points and used a 25-4 run to build a 71-32 lead and set a running clock in motion.
A veteran and a rookie set the tone. Freshman Abby VanMeenen scored all 11 of her points in the quarter (7 in one 47-second burst). And senior Addy Engel had 10 of her career-high 29.
Ellie VanMeenen and Anja Ruxlow each had 9, Paige Selke 8, Izzy Hutchinson 4, Katie Brock 3, and Magda Lopko and Bennett Swearingen had 2 apiece.
