Monday, Dec. 19 was a different environment for the Montezuma teams. The girls stayed home while the boys traveled to Eddyville-Blakesburg. There was also a freshmen game added to the night.
The Bravettes had another slow start to the night when three minutes passed before either team could get rolling. The Bravettes had turnovers that sent the Rockets off and left the Bravettes trailing 6-14 after the first quarter. The second quarter was almost a repeat of the first. The half came with the Bravettes still trailing the Rockets 12-29.
Coach Timm said, “We can’t turn the ball over 19 times in the first half and expect to win. We need to do a better job as a team.”
The Bravettes had 34 turnovers to end the night.
Coach Timm also added, “Mentally and physically we have to be ready to play the game. Tonight we had some girls who were ready, but we weren’t ready as a team. Eddyville has a nice group at the JV level, but I feel like at times we let things be way too easy for them on both sides of the floor.”
The Bravettes had five shots inside while the Rockets had only five shots from outside the lane. Scoring leaders were Courtney Petersen with eight, Cheyenne Peters with four and Mackenzie James with four. Rebound leaders were Petersen (5), Clara Johnson (4), Dakota Norris (3) and Shayla Townsend (3). The Bravettes were also made five out of 12 from the free throw line.
The Bravettes will be off until after winter break, returning to action against HLV at home on Jan. 3.
