Rogers High 55, Springdale Har-Ber 32

The Lady Mounties used an 11-0 run in the second quarter to take control and pulled away in the second half to earn the 6A-West Conference win on Tuesday night at King Arena. Kate McConnell poured in a game-high 23 points, including five 3-pointers for the Lady Mounties (11-7, 3-3 6A-West). Ally Figenskau chipped in nine. Rogers coach Preston Early was pleased with his team's defense and overall toughness. "We were really solid and I thought the toughness factor was big," Early said. "What we talked about is just how scrappy that young team plays. They have some good young scorers. "Our intensity and sustaining it for 32 minutes was big, I thought. It's about answering and making plays and I just thought I saw a lot of maturity and poise out of a fairly young group." Rogers led only 17-13 after Sophie Nelson scored inside for Har-Ber early in the second quarter. But the Lady Wildcats wouldn't score against until Addison Stubbs' rebound bucket with under a minute left in the half. McConnell has seven points in the big 11-point run. Her 3-pointer with a minute left in the half gave Rogers a 28-13 advantage. Nelson led Har-Ber (8-11, 1-5) with 17 points. She scored 13 of the Lady Wildcats' 15 points in the first half.
