REARDAN – The girls varsity team was rarely challenged in two convincing wins over Almira-Coulee-Hartline and Odessa this week.

Reardan was particularly dominant in the first half against ACH, pitching a 14-0 shutout in the first quarter and leading 25-2 at the break behind a stifling press defense and 11 points from Ayden Krupke. ACH found some offense in the third q...
DAVENPORT – Some nights, the Gorillas look to have balanced scoring attacks. Other nights, they feed the hot shooting hand of Brenick Soliday. And other nights, they simply put the ball in the hands of their best player, Tennessee Rainwater, and ask him to go score points. The latter was true against Northwest Christian, as Rainwater scored 32 of Davenport's 62 points in a 62-49 win Friday, Dec. 17. Davenport took control early, as Rainwater knocked down a three-pointer and go...

DAVENPORT-The Gorillas' varsity girls team has mostly seen success this year on the defensive side of the floor, but Davenport has struggled to turn its stops into points. That reared its head Friday, Dec. 17 as Davenport fell to the visiting Northwest Christian Crusaders 39-32 in another low scoring, sloppy affair. The loss dropped Davenport to 2-5 this season. The first quarter was particularly sloppy, as both teams struggled with turnovers. NWC led just 6-4 after the...
