CMB girls struggle with shot against Defenders

BAXTER — A tough shooting night from the floor and from the line didn’t help the Collins-Maxwell-Baxter’s chances at a victory Saturday night.

Neither did the 35-26 disadvantage on the glass, 21 turnovers or a 21-9 deficit in the second quarter.

Add all of that up and the Raiders dropped a 57-32 decision to the Defenders in Baxter.

CMB shot 27 percent from the field and made just 46 percent of its shots from the foul line.

After leading by one point after one quarter, the Raiders got outscored 48-22 the rest of the way.

Junior Amber Joyce led the team with 11 points and six rebounds, while sophomore Emmeline Huffaker added four points, four rebounds and two steals.

Junior Zeah Peterson turned in four points and four boards, senior Ashley Fricke pulled down five rebounds and senior Abby Maher added four points, three caroms and two steals.

CMB was scheduled to host South Hamilton tonight, but the game was postponed due to wintry weather.
