Hot start, strong finish -lead -Rock -Port Past Stanberry | sport

(Concept) – A hot start and a strong finish rock port led the semi -final victory of class 1 in class 1 against Stanberry on Thursday.

The Blue Jays (23-4) scored 13 of the 14 points in the first quarter and used a 21-point fourth place after one line to one to remove a 51:35 win against the Bulldogs (9-17).

“We played Stanberry a few weeks ago and were 21 years old,” said Rock Port head coach Austin Alitz. “Then in the middle of the second quarter and in the middle of third place it is a one-point game. We won around 18, so about an identical game. “

Just as quickly as Rock Port jumped to a large tour. However, the Blue Jays found an answer with Audrie Meykorth (21 points) and Addison Maifeld (10 points), which combined for 31.

“It is only to know that you have control,” said Meyerkorth about her performance. “I mean, we were still up, we still had the lead, it is our ball. If it is in our control, we can do what we want. “

Maifeld put together some of her biggest shots of the night in the fourth quarter and scored seven of her 10th in the last period.

“I just saw an open shot and shot it,” said Maifeld. “As soon as they came to us (finally), we only had to play our game. Slow it up, play our speed. We knew what to do. We had to play our game. “

The victory sends Rock Port into a district championship game at the Jefferson High School on Saturday against Platte Valley.

“It will be a dog struggle,” said Alitz. “We have just played in the past three weeks. It was a two -point game, so we are familiar with them. Hopefully we can get a good practice in (Friday) and we still have the chance to get better. “

Kynzee Adcock was the way for Stanberry with 17 points at night. The starter Trista camp was the only senior at the Bulldogs squad this season.
