PCM girls, boys cruise past Panthers

The Prairie City-Monroe girls basketball team earned its first win of the season Thursday night in dominant fashion, downing Knoxville 50-19 in non-conference action in Monroe.

The Mustangs (1-2, 1-1 Heart of Iowa Conference) led 29-6 at halftime and went on for the easy victory despite shooting just 27 percent from the field (13-for-48). They got 21 points from the free-throw line, making 21-of-33.

PCM spread the scoring around, and nine different players scored and no one was in double digits. Sophomore Grace Telfer led the team with nine points, while junior Abbi Gilson and senior Kelsey Townsend each had eight. Telfer also had 10 rebounds.
