By ROB HAMILTON

The Card­ing­ton Lady Pirates claimed a 49–33 win over Mans­field Chris­t­ian on Tues­day thanks to some bal­anced scoring.

Clar­isa Lyons led the win­ners with 17 points, but five other play­ers all lit up the score­board with five or more.

The Pirates led 14–10 after the first quar­ter and 30–21 at the half, but turned up the defense in the third quar­ter to clinch the win. Dur­ing those eight min­utes, Card­ing­ton held their foes to one point in increas­ing their lead to a 40–22 margin.

High­land Scots

Second-quarter woes by the High­land girls allowed Fred­er­ick­town to break open what had been a close game and take a 57–29 deci­sion from the host Scots.

The Fred­dies led 16–11 after the first quar­ter, but outscored their oppo­nents 20–5 in the sec­ond period to move in front by a 20-point margin.

In the sec­ond half, the vis­i­tors con­tin­ued to add to their lead, outscor­ing High­land 10–7 in the third quar­ter and 11–6 in the fourth.

Heather Thacker and Abby Gar­cia both fin­ished with 12 points, with Thacker adding eight rebounds.

North­mor Knights

North­mor could not get untracked offen­sively in the early going on Tues­day against Mohawk in a game they dropped by a 56–25 margin.

The War­riors jumped out to a 24–2 lead in the first quar­ter and increased that to a 36–5 mar­gin by the half.

Both teams scored 20 points in the sec­ond half, but the dam­age had been done as the Knights fell to 4–5.

Kyn­dall Williams tal­lied 12 points to lead Northmor.

Mount Gilead Indians

On Tues­day, Mount Gilead lost at Galion by a 64–22 margin.

The Tigers jumped out to a fast start, outscor­ing the Indi­ans 17–4 in the first quar­ter and 20–2 in the sec­ond to build a com­mand­ing 31-point half­time lead.

Mount Gilead would per­form bet­ter in the sec­ond half, scor­ing five points in the third quar­ter and 11 in the fourth, but would be unable to make a dent into Galion’s lead.

Cait­lyn Ever­hart fin­ished with six points to lead the Indians.
