Cowgirls defeat Eagle Grove, Webster City

The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows varsity girls basketball team enjoyed a nice 72-44 win last Monday, January 18 at home over Eagle Grove. The Cowgirls jumped out to a 41-20 halftime advantage and never looked back from there.

“We jumped on them right away,” stated head coach Kevin Kakacek. “When we get more comfortable, it gets easier with our shots. We attacked the basket well, and did what we needed to do. It was good to see the girls play together and take it at them to win the game.”

Two ladies scored in double digits, as Maddie Disney knocked down 15 points on 5 of 11 from the field and two three-pointers. Sydney TerHark tossed in 13 points with three buckets from downtown. Ashley Keller, Shelby Engh and Kennedy Goodell were all close at nine points each, with all of Keller’s total on treys. Kenzie Alberts scored seven points, Chloe Johnson four points, Mikayla Hennigar three points, Hannah TerHark two points and Hannah Kapka one point. The 38 total rebounds column was headed by Kapka with seven boards. Alberts and Hannah TerHark both had five each, while Disney, Sydney TerHark and Goodell all hauled in four caroms each.
