Booth drained a three with 17 seconds left to put Carroll up 52-51, then drained a pair of free throws after the Tigers got a stop. Those 5 of his game-high 27 points helped the Tigers hold on for a 54-53 win in a game that went back and forth over the final few minutes. Booth took a pass from Ethan Lengeling early in the 4th to give the Tigers a 45-42 lead. That shot sparked an offense that was stagnant in the 3rd, getting outscored 17-9 to fall behind 41-40. Winterset kept the pressure up and went back up 47-45. Carroll responded with Evan Hammer picking up the inside on a nice inside pass to Tanner Gotto, who played well down the stretch. Hammer put Carroll back ahead 49-47 with a pair of free throws.

Glidden Ralston at Paton Churdan
Paton Churdan 67
Glidden Ralston 24
The Paton Churdan Rockets were able to grab their first win of the season in dominant fashion as they led wire to wire against Glidden Ralston in Tuesday’s Rolling Valley Conference matchup.
The Rockets and Wildcats started off the match with a back and forth battle with the Rockets getting the slight edge at 17-11 after the first quarter concluded. That battle didn’t tucker down the Rockets at all as they dominated the second quarter 17-2 and took a massive 34-13 lead into halftime. Glidden Ralston Head Coach Tyler Shipley says the Rockets came out with way more energy and intensity than they expected them to, but he thought his bench players, including Emmett Snyder, Caden Wenck, and Bryson Ertz played particularly well in this game.
The Rockets didn’t stop at just scoring 17 in one quarter, they upped the intensity further to start the second half. Paton Churdan put up a game-high 22 points in the third quarter and defensively kept the Wildcats to eight points, extending their lead even further to 56-21 heading into the final minutes of regulation. The biggest factor leading to the Rockets’ big scores late in the game was their ability to rebound the basketball well and drive to the basket well against the Wildcat defense. Shaydon Thruman was on fire in this game, recording a 16 point, 10 rebound double-double while getting strong offensive support from Justin Stream and Joe Carey, who both recorded 11 points and five rebounds. The Rockets capped off their dominant game with another 20 point quarter in the fourth to get past the Wildcats by a final score of 67-24.
The Rockets grab their first win of the season and first conference win as the Wildcats drop to 2-12 overall on the season and 0-10 in the Rolling Valley Conference. Paton Churdan’s week continues with a road game against Collins-Maxwell on Thursday, January 27th. Glidden Ralston, on the other hand, will travel to Mondamin to take on West Harrison on Friday, January 28th.

Exira-EHK at Coon Rapids Bayard
Coon Rapids Bayard 73
Exira-EHK 58
The Coon Rapids Bayard Crusaders had a tough matchup against Exira-EHK in Rolling Valley Conference action Tuesday night, but the Crusaders got the job done, got all five starters in double digits for points, and pulled away for the victory and win number 10 on the season.
The Crusaders got their high-scoring affair started off with a solid first quarter. They put up 19 points against the Spartans to get out to a 19-11 lead going into the second quarter. Coon Rapids Bayard Head Coach Cory Meyer says for the first time this season, the Crusaders changed up things defensively, playing behind the post and not relying so much on the backside help and they wanted to stay more connected with their guards. While the start for the Crusaders went well, they fell behind a little bit in the second quarter. Exira-EHK switched up their defense to a zone look and capitalized on the turnovers from Coon Rapids Bayard to put up 12 points in the second quarter, but still trailed the Crusaders 30-23 going into halftime.
Just like the second quarter didn’t happen, Coon Rapids Bayard came back from halftime with the same explosive offense they had in the first quarter. Coach Meyer says they played behind the zone in the second half and got a lot of shots to go from inside the paint. That change of pace helped the Crusaders put up a game-high 22 points and extend their lead to 52-39. As mentioned, all five starters for Coon Rapids Bayard broke through for double-digit points, with Tanner Oswald leading the charge with 16 points. The Spartans mounted a small comeback in the fourth quarter as they were able to almost match the Crusaders point for point, only being outpaced by one point at 20-19. The strong first and third-quarter performances from the Crusaders helped them cruise to a 73-58 win over a tough Exira-EHK squad.
As a team, the Crusaders made 32 of 55 shots from the field, or 58%, but wasn’t so lucky from behind the arc, only making two of their 11 three-pointers. The Crusaders will improve to 10-6 overall on the season and 6-5 in the Rolling Valley Conference. They will close out their week of games as they travel to Westside to take on the Ar-We-Va Rockets in conference action on Friday, January 28th.

Manson NW Webster at East Sac
East Sac 60
Manson NW Webster 33
The East Sac Raiders played with heart and fire Tuesday night as they grabbed a dominant 27 point victory over Twin Lakes Conference opponent Manson NW Webster.
The Raiders massive scoring night got off to a dominant start in the first quarter as the Cougars came out in a man-to-man defense, which did little to stop East Sac. Luke Wright and Tyler Schmitt attacked the basket well and gave the Raiders a 20-8 lead. Schmitt had eight points in that first quarter and Wright put six points on the board. East Sac Head Coach Todd Bontrager says in the second quarter, Manson NW Webster switched from man to man to a zone defense and applied some more pressure. Despite the change defensively, the Raiders still found ways to limit the Cougar scoring and get points in the paint to extend their lead to 35-16. Schmitt led the team up to that point with 15 first-half points.
Caleb Eichorn for East Sac got their offense started in the third quarter with a pair of made three-pointers from the corner. The Raiders stayed consistent and continued to add to their lead going into the fourth quarter. Schmitt continued to attack the basket well, leading the team with 17 points and helping the Raiders extend their lead to 47-22. East Sac let up a bit in the final eight minutes of the contest, allowing Manson NW Webster to crack double-digit points, but their monstrous first three quarters was enough for the Raiders to come away with a win at 60-33.
As a team, the Raiders made 54% of their field goals, going 25 of 46, but were not so hot from behind the arc, making two of their 10 three-pointers, both those coming from Eichorn. They also shot well from the free-throw line, going eight of 14. The Raiders will improve to 8-8 overall on the season, 6-2 in the Twin Lakes Conference, and extend their current win streak to five games. Their week continues with another conference game on Friday, January 28th, against a tough Sioux Central team at home.

The Ar-We-Va Rockets have now gone 3-2 in their last five games as they knocked off Woodbine Tuesday night on the road.
The Rockets got off to a fiery start in the first half, kicked off with a 17-8 first quarter. Ar-We-Va Head Coach Matt Wilken says his team had an excellent first half highlighted by patience and great shooting. That statement was also true for the second quarter as the Rockets nearly scored 20 points all while extending their lead to 36-17. The Rockets were nearly stopped in their tracks as the Tigers made use of a bad start in the second half from Ar-We-Va. Bad decisions from the Rockets gave them only four points in the third quarter and allowed Woodbine to climb back within nine points of the Rockets lead at 40-31 going into the fourth quarter. Coach Wilkin says his guys got sped up by Woodbine which led to those bad decisions being made and low scoring in that quarter. With five minutes left in regulation, the Tigers cut the Rockets’ lead down to three points.

OABCIG at IKM-Manning
OABCIG 46
IKM-Manning 33
The IKM-Manning Wolves did an admirable job of keeping OABCIG contained in the first half of their game Tuesday night, but the Falcons utilized a poor shooting second half from the Wolves to come away with a win.
The Wolves in the first quarter did a fairly good job at keeping the 46% shooting Falcons at bay as Ross Kuzel got the offense going with a field goal and a three-pointer to lead the team with five points and get the Wolves up 12-9 after the first quarter. OABCIG was struggling from the field at the start, putting up three-pointers that were off the mark and unable to drive inside the lane for layups. The Falcons started to sink buckets and get back in the game, but the Wolves were not far behind. Eli Dreyer drained a three-pointer that kept the Wolves in the game as they led 19-18 going into halftime. The Falcons were speedy in transition, but that cost them more than it did help them at first.
IKM-Manning and OABCIG traded the lead quite a few times in the third quarter, with the Wolves struggling to score many baskets. Amos Rasmussen tried to spark some energy into the Wolves with a field goal and a three-pointer to his name in the third quarter, but the only other points scored were from Kusel and Dalton Gross, who scored three of four free throws. The Falcons, off a three-pointer from East Harms, were able to grab the lead at 30-27 going into the fourth quarter. While the Wolves still played with intensity and fire, they were struggling to put up points in the fourth quarter. The Falcons were able to find their groove and extended their three-point lead to an eventual 14 point lead at 44-30. The Wolves only made six points in the final eight minutes as OABCIG was victorious by a final score of 46-33.
The Wolves will fall to 3-12 overall on the season. They finish up their week of competition as they take on Treynor in a Western Iowa Conference game at home on Friday, January 28th.
