Scott City Lady Beavers take third with win over Sterling

The third-place contest on Saturday in the Sterling Girls Invitational Tournament featured the host Sterling Lady Black Bears against the Scott City Lady Beavers. It wasn't what the second-seeded Lady Beavers had in mind when the week started, but their 55-24 win over the Lady Bears secured the third-place trophy.
      Led by Megan Trout with 18 points, the Lady Beavers, 6-4 overall, never looked back after jumping out to a quick 9-0 lead.  They did nothing but increase that lead as the first half moved along.  The Lady Beavers led 15-4 after one period and 33-9 at halftime. That margin would eventually move to more than 30 points by the start of the fourth quarter.
      Sterling, 4-7, was led in scoring by Aleya Ravenstien with eight points. Also scoring in double figures for the Lady Beavers were Erika Felker with 13 and Avery Lewis with 11. (Dwight Nichols)
