Como girls edge Cretin 62-56 to celebrate MLK

Cretin-Derham Hall had a great doubleheader to celebrate MLK Day, and the Raiders split the 2 games. The boys beat 12-1 Mounds View handily while in the girls game it was visiting St. Paul Como Park coming back from a 43-42 deficit at 8:30 to win 62-56.

That means that Como won those final 8-and-a-half minutes 20-13 as Ronnie Porter scored 7 points and Kaylynn Asbury 6. Como shot 8-of-18 FG down the stretch (45%) after making just 16-of-70 shots (23%) over the game's first 27 minutes. Cretin, meanwhile, shot 38% percent in taking that 43-42 lead (17-of-45) but made just 4-of-17 (23%) down the stretch.

The difference in the game was Como's 26 offensive rebounds leading to 17 2nd chance points, 7 in the first half and 10 more in the 2nd. On Como's offensive end, there were 51 rebounds available. Como grabbed 26, Cretin just 25. Total rebounding was Como 55 Cretin 40 as the two teams missed more than 100 shots. But, if you're wondering how Como got off 88 shots, well, 26 offensive rebounds is the answer.

Ronnie Porter was also the difference in the game, scoring 31 points while none of her teammates managed to get into double figures. Porter shot 12-of-29 (42%) including 4-of-12 from long range (4-of-7 in the 1st half) and 8-of-17 2s. She added 8 rebounds, 3 steals, an assist and a block, plus 5 turnovers. Nevaeh Moeschter scored 19 points for Cretin while Takara Mason added 17.
