Dell Rapids led 18-10 after the first quarter and pushed that lead to 20 points at 38-18 by halftime.  The lead grew to 27 points by the end of the third quarter, 54-27, as the Quarriers cruised in the second half for the season-opening win.

The Quarriers shot 46% (25-54) from the field in the game, but just 24% (5-21) from three-point area.  Dell Rapids was also 75% (9-12) from the free-throw line and out-rebounded Baltic 33-22.  The Quarrier defense forced 20 Bulldog turnovers.

It did not matter if the Quarriers had an open shot or a contest shot, the ball just wouldn’t fall through the hoop for them in the fourth quarter.  Madison took advantage of the bad luck turning a 33-33 tie into a 50-40 on Thursday, December 9th.  It was the first game for both teams to start the 2021-2022 season.

The Quarriers opened the third quarter on a 7-0 run to take a 26-20 lead with 4:35 to play in the quarter.  This was the largest lead of the night for Dell Rapids.  Madison regained the lead in the final minute of the quarter, 33-31, but Mady VanOverbeke made a tough layup to tie the game 33-33 heading into the fourth quarter.

That’s when the baskets quit falling for the Quarriers.  Dell Rapid did not get their first point of the fourth quarter until Zoey Hilmoe made a free throw with 2:26 to play in the game.  By that time, Madison went on an 11-0 run for a 44-33 lead.  The Bulldogs maintained that lead for the win.

Dell Rapids finished the game shooting 29% (15-52) from the field, 16% (3-19) from three-point area, and 41% (7-17) from the free-throw line.  The Bulldogs finished the game shooting 49%.  The Quarrier defense was tough all night forcing 26 Madison turnovers.

Hilmoe led the team in scoring with 14 points and also had three steals.  Jayme Schmidt had nine points, four rebounds, and three assists.  Haileigh Barnhart had six points, eight rebounds, and two assists.  Liz Price had four points and three rebounds.  VanOverbeke finished with five steals and three assists along with two points.
