The Thunder Mountain Girls were on the road again this past week, winning one game and losing three.<\/p>\n

The Lady Falcons were scheduled to play four games —with Saturday’s game results unavailable at the time this article was written — and prevailed against Chugiak High School and lost to Colony High School and Monroe Catholic High School. Their record is now 9-4.<\/p>\n

In Wednesday’s game against Chugiak, TMHS came out hot in the second half and rode a 19-6 third quarter to a 53-42 win.<\/p>\n

“Our big three of the Baxter twins and Ashlyn Gates controlled the boards with blocked shots and defense,” said coach Andy Lee.<\/p>\n

Seven players scored in the victorious effort. Kerra Baxter led TMHS in scoring with 17 points and Kiara Kookesh added 11 points.<\/p>\n

Thursday, TMHS was unable to beat last year’s No. 3 team, the Colony Knights, but did hold a lead late in the game.<\/p>\n

While Colony led 21-18 at the half, TMHS was able to storm back to fourth-quarter lead before a Colony 8-0 run at the four-minute mark reversed the Lady Falcons’ fortunes.<\/p>\n

Friday, Monroe came out on the winning side of a 31-28 defensive battle. A tough Monroe defense stymied TMHS’ efforts on offense preventing any single player from reaching double figures in scoring.<\/p>\n

Saturday, the Lady Falcons fell 53-36 against Grace Christian School.<\/p>\n

Cailynn Baxter led TMHS in scoring with 15 points, and Jaya Carandang finished just shy of double figures with 9 points.<\/p>\n

“We had some bright spots throughout the game and played with improved effort,” Lee said.<\/p>\n

The game concludes a run of 13 games in 20 days for the TMHS girls. They’ll now get a few days off before hosting Palmer at 6:45 p.m. on Friday and 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.<\/p>\n
