PITTSBURG —
The Girard Trojan girls extended their CNC League winning streak to 46 games with a gritty 54-48 nailbiter over the Riverton Rams on Tuesday.
“I felt like we came out flat in that first half,” Girard head coach Brad Herlocker said. “We picked up defensive intensity in the second half. Riverton led most of the way. In the fourth quarter, we got our transitition going and went 9-for-12 from the line. Riverton (coached by Will Mallatt) played hard, played with a lot of confidence on their homecourt.”
Girard outscored Riverton 19-11 in the fourth quarter, aided by that free-throw shooting advantage.
Hadyn Herlocker made all four of her free throw attempts in the final quarter and 8 of 10 overall en route to a game-high 20 points and senior forward Jordan Davied added 13 for Girard.
Taylor Price led Riverton with 11 points and MacKenzie Dunbar added nine.

Riverton boys 42, Girard 36
The fourth quarter proved devastating to the efforts of the Girard boys in their CNC League opener against the Riverton Rams, as Riverton overcame scoring a single point in the first quarter and trailing after each of the first three quarters with a 22-12 fourth-quarter advantage.
Devin Alters and Trenton Stolte shared high individual scoring honors with 13 points, all for naught.
Freshman guard Landon North paced Riverton with 12 and Greyson Spriggs and Dylan Weaver each had eight.
