The Dell Rapids Quarrier girls basketball team had their three-game winning streak broken by the Deubrook Dolphins on Saturday, January 17th. Deubrook defeated Dell Rapids 60-46 at the Hanson Classic in Mitchell.<\/p>\n
Head coach Jeff Dvorak said, “This game was very perplexing. We shot 46% from the field, held their leading scorer to three points, out-rebounded them, and yet were solidly beaten.”<\/p>\n
Deubrook held a 14-8 lead at the end of the first quarter. They pushed that lead to nine by halftime at 30-21. Each team scored 12 points in the third quarter, and Deubrook kept their nine point lead at the end of the third quarter at 42-33. The Dolphins then outscored Dell Rapids 18-13 in the final quarter.<\/p>\n
The Quarrers finished 18-39 from the field and shot 60% (3-5) from the free-throw line. Dell Rapids out-rebounded the Dolphins 25-23, however, the Quarriers turned the ball over 27 times in the game.<\/p>\n
Averi Pankonen had 17 points. Emma Paul added seven points and three rebounds. Brittney Siemonsma had four points and seven rebounds.<\/p>\n
“We seemed very slow moving the ball, cutting and defending…just lacked energy. We could say that our late return\/game in Beresford last night left us out of gas, but we need to find a little more ‘fight’, guts and leadership when we play in a classic like this regardless of playing a late game the night before. This was certainly a learning opportunity for us,” said Dvorak.<\/p>\n
The Quarriers fall to 6-4 on the year. Dell Rapids will host West Central on Tuesday, January 20th. The game will be webcast on Big Sioux Media.<\/p>\n
