On Jan. 23 the JV Bravettes were defeated by the North Mahaska Warhawks.
“We actually shot a better percentage from the field than our opponent but weren’t able to get stops when we needed. Then we put them on the free throw line, and they took advantage,” said Coach Timm.
Both teams had a good start, and it was 11 – 7 after the first quarter. The pace was similar in the second quarter, and it ended with Montezuma trailing 23 – 14. In the third quarter the Bravettes struggled to recover.
“We gave a great effort in the fourth quarter and actually outscored them,” Coach Timm said.
Despite the comeback, the Bravettes lost with a score of 42– 30,
Coach Timm said, “Unfortunately, Mahaska had an athlete that made as many free throws as we attempted. In the end you look at that and see that could be the difference. She made 12 of her 16 attempts, and we lost by 12 points.”
Even though the Bravettes lost, they had some great moments and many scores. Courtney Petersen and Clara Johnson made 3 points each, Alex Brenner made 2 points, Mackenzie James, Katelyn Gregory and Abbi Nelson made 1 point each for the Bravettes.
“Overall, I thought the girls did a nice job on both ends, and we bounced back with a good showing after struggling the last two games,” said Coach Timm.
