MONITEAU 52, NORTH CLARION 47

FRILLS CORNERS, Pa. – In a battle of two of the top girls’ teams in District 9, Kristina DeMatteis scored 28 points, came up with seven steals and hauled down six rebounds to help visiting Moniteau hand North Clarion its first loss of the season, 52-47.

The She-Wolves, who won at Keystone Friday despite being without two starters and a key reserve because of the flu, still weren’t completely healthy Wednesday with star forward Tori Obenrader, who went over 1,000 points Friday, not starting because of the flu.

But Obenrader did play three quarters and finish with a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds for North Clarion, and the She-Wolves led 14-12 without her on the court in the first quarter and 27-24 at halftime with Obenrader scoring 12 of her points in the second quarter.

DeMatteis, however, scored nine of her points in the third quarter, as Moniteau outscored North Clarion 17-5 in the quarter to take control of the game.

Alazia Greaves added 17 points for Moniteau with Emma Bair chipping in four points and eight rebounds.

Michaella Higgins added eight points for North Clarion with Cassie Wagner chipping in six points and 16 rebounds and Abby Gatesman six points.

Moniteau’s defense caused North Clarion problems with the She-Wolves turning the ball over 25 times.

KEYSTONE 54, CLARION-LIMESTONE 19

STRATTANVILLE, Pa. – Taylor Geer scored 24 points and grabbed nine rebounds, as Keystone rolled to an easy, 54-19, win at Clarion-Limestone.

McKenzie Hovis added seven points for the Lady Panthers, who also got 11 points, six rebounds and four assists from Alyssa Beichner.

Jess Ball led the Lady Lions with six points.

KARNS CITY 57, FOREST AREA 19

TIONESTA, Pa. – Karns City used a hot start to roll to a 57-19 win over Forest Area at West Forest.

The Lady Gremlin shutout the Fires 27-0 in the first quarter.

Emily Hegedus led Karns City with 25 points while Mackenzie Craig added 14 and Alyssa Gibson 11.

Jasmine Ginnery, Glory Wagner and Destiny Ginnery each scored four points for Forest Area.
