The Lady Pirates travelled twice this week as they beat the Bengals of Bonanza 51-38 and lost to league rival Boulder City 65-40.

At Bonanza, Amanda Campbell scored 10 points and pulled down 19 rebounds. Amanda is averaging 19 rebounds a game and is leading the state in rebounds; she is also 11th in the nation in rebounding, according to Maxpreps.com which is a CBS Sports run website.

Ashley Noto scored eight points in the victory. Chanel Lacroix scored 7 points while Shelby Denman-Gray added 6. Shaylynn Gifford had 5, Heidi Paul added 3. Hanna Leavitt, McCall Smith, Paige Leavitt and Kim Sprague all had 2 points.

Moapa led 11-10 after the first quarter then trailed 20-18 at half. Moapa then opened up the offence and out scored Bonanza 24-1 in the third as the starters played the 3rd and took control of the game.

The girls who don’t get much playing time played most of the game. Coach Swanson said that he knew Bonanza was weak and wanted to give the girls some experience.

Bonanza outscored Moapa in the 4th, 17-9 and the Pirates coasted to a 51-38 win.

On Friday night the Lady Eagles took a 20 point lead into the locker room as they outscored the Lady Pirates 20-10 in the first and 16-6 in the second. Moapa played a much better game against Boulder than they did earlier in the season.

“We just couldn’t get the shot to fall,” said Coach Swanson.

It seemed like everything Boulder City shot went in. Moapa could never really gain ground.

Amanda Campbell grabbed 17 rebounds as Ashley Noto scored almost half of Moapa’s points with 18. Breanna Harding and Campbell scored 6 points. Hanna Leavitt and Gifford each had 5 points.

Moapa was 14 of 25 from the line while Boulder City shot 8-16. The Eagles are in 1st place at 3-0. Virgin Valley is 2-1 while Moapa is 0-3.
