Pearl City hosts Annual Holiday Invite Tournament
Panthers into the fourth quarter facing a 37-28 deficit. Packard led the way for the Panthers in the fourth as they got back on stride. It wouldn’t be enough, however, as the Panthers fell by a score of 50-40. Mowery finished with 14 while Almary and Packard each had seven in the Le-Win loss. Pearl City fell to Fulton in a battle for the seventh and eighth place game decider. After holding a small 7-6 lead after the first quarter, Pearl City was held to just two points in the second quarter. Fulton took advantage of the offensive drought by scoring 12 of their own and taking an 18-9 lead into halftime. Fulton would expand on their lead in the third quarter. Despite Pearl City’s freshman Savanah Brandt getting hot in the second half as she scored 19 points following the break, it wasn’t enough for the Lady Wolves to complete the comeback. Fulton took the win over Pearl City by a score of 4436. Brandt led the way for the Wolves with 23 points on the night. She was their anchor on offense as the next leading scorer was Cheyenne Handsaker with 4 points. River Ridge/Scales Mound senior eclipses 1000 point mark Following a victory over East Dubuque in the Pearl City Tournament Tabria Thomas found herself sitting at 998 career points. The 5’9” senior has played a major piece offensively her entire career for the Wildcats, and the Pearl City Tournament was no different. Thomas played a key role in the victory over East Dubuque as she finished with 14 points and the Wildcats captured a five-point victory with a score of 38-33. Thomas managed to break the 1000 point threshold in the Pearl City championship. Despite falling short against the AFC Raiders, by just 4 points, Thomas had quite a game as she scored 30 points. Certainly a big night for Thomas as she will look to continue adding on to her career totals. The Wildcats now sit at 10-3 on the season. Congratulations to Tabria Thomas on breaking 1000 career points.

Pearl City hosted their own Pearl City Holiday Invite Tournament prior to the week of Christmas, a tournament that allows all of the area schools to compete for the top spot just before the Christmas break. After competing to earn their respective seeds, days three and four brought us some heavily competitive basketball. Orangeville and Warren found themselves facing off for ninth and tenth place in the tournament when they faced off last Wednesday. Orangeville took an early nine point lead into halftime after holding the Warren offense to just 10 first half points. The first half lead came largely in thanks to Alyssa Ostendorf’s play, as she had eight points before halftime. The teams went into the break with a score of 19-10. Warren managed to fight back in the second half as Elizabeth Brinkmeier, who went scoreless in the first half, scored 10 points following the break, eight of which came in the fourth quarter alone. The strong second half effort was enough to complete the comeback and force an overtime period. Orangeville managed to get the win in OT, however, by outscoring the Warren girls eight to four as they went on to win 46-42. Ostendorf led the way for Orangeville with 21, McKayla Riemer followed up with 11 of her own. Warren was led by a trio of Sydni Sigafus, Brinkmeier, and Jessica Griffin who each scored 10 points. The Le-Win girls play put them in position to battle it out for fifth and sixth place, which left them to face off with East Dubuque. The Panthers captured a slight lead in the first quarter as Lindquist and Mowery combined for five early points from the free throw line. The Panthers were up 13-9 heading into the second. East Dubuque found their stride offensively in the second quarter as they scored 16 to take a 25-23 lead into halftime. The third quarter became the real difference maker as East Dubuque held the Panthers to just 5 third quarter points. The offensive fall off led the
