Jan. 11--Centennial, Hopkins, Rush City girls win

3 big second halfs helped the Centennial, Hopkins and Rush City girls to wins on Monday night. The 3 winners led at halftime by a composite score of 100-98, but blitzed their opponents 102-40 in the 2nd half.

Centennial trailed Maple Grove 32-27 at the half in their NW Suburban matchup but the Crimson managed just 8 2nd half points and the Cougars pulled away to a 56-40 win. Taylor Mcauley scored 20 and Sarah Lavell 13 for Centennial, and Jordan Lamber and Abby Schulte the same 20 and 13 for the Crimson. Centennial got 23 points from the rest of their roster, Maple Grove a measly 7. Centennial also made 16-of-18 FT to pull away. They are now 15-1 in the conference and 19-4 overall. The Crimson are 12-3 and 15-6.

Hopkins led Becker at the half 53-36, then doubled the Bulldogs 36-18 in the 2nd half. Paige Bueckers led Hopkins with 26 points while Maya Nnaji, Dlayla Chakolis, Amaya Battle and Taylor Woodson all scored in double figures. Freshman Adeline Kent scored 19 for Becker. They played in the old Hopkins gym for some reason. Weather related? Hopkins remans unbeaten.

Rush City trailed host Mpls. North 30-20 at the half but blitzed the Polars 37-14 in the 2nd half for a 567-44 win. It was an unusual game in that only 7 players scored, 5 of them in double figures. Shawna Mell scored 25 for Rush and Kaylyn Bowen 11. Tiffany McNeill led North with 19 as only 3 players were able to score for the Polars.
