Rich Rautenstrauch/Chieftain Enterprise freshman Reagan Bedard makes a move to the basket while playing against the Elgin Huskies Saturday evening at Quinn Court. The Outlaw girls played well on both sides of the court.

The Enterprise Outlaw girls had a Friday night bye and came out strong Saturday evening, Jan. 24, beating the Elgin Huskies by a considerable margin, 48-30. The Lady Outlaws are now 8-8 on the season and 3-4 in league play. If the season ended today, they’d be seeded fourth in district play.

“We played really well on both sides of the court,” Enterprise coach Mike Crawford said. “We cut down on our turnovers, the girls shot well and were excellent at the free throw line. It was a good game for us.”

Both teams started with an offensive spurt, putting in a combined 22 points scored in the first period, Elgin holding the narrow 12-10 advantage. The Outlaws outscored Elgin 11-6 in the second period to go into halftime with a 21-17 lead. Early in the third period Elgin bounced back and closed the gap to one point, but after that the Outlaws took over the game completely. The quarter score in the third was 13-8 in favor of Enterprise, and Enterprise’s defense was powerful in the fourth quarter, holding Elgin to four points while the Outlaws scored 14.

Enterprise sophomore Tiffanie George was the player of the game. She had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. George was seven-for-eight at the free throw line, and elsewhere on the court had four steals and two blocks. Senior Emma Hall scored 12 with two rebounds, one assist and two steals. She also had a stellar night at the line, shooting six-for-six. Sophomores Reagan Bedard and Sarah Aschenbrenner each scored seven with Aschenbrenner adding six rebounds. Bedard hit three out of four at the charity stripe. Carsen Sajonia had good numbers all across the board: she scored five, had three rebounds, two assists and three steals. Freshmen Riley Gray and Reece Christman each contributed, Christman scoring four with four rebounds, two assists and three steals, and Gray pulling down three rebounds. Darby Gassett had an unusual night without any points, but she had three rebounds, one assist and a steal. Gwen Nohr, Madison Plew and Ashley Exon all contributed.

The Outlaw girls go back on the road this weekend, facing off against Imbler on Friday and Union on Saturday.
