LARNED GIRLS 51, CIMARRON 18 — Larned’s Lady Indians used suffocating defense to stun Cimarron’s offense into an evening of futility to cruise to a 51-18 victory at the St. John Midwinter Classic Monday.
Larned's Jadyn Crosby scored 21 points. Cammy Upson scored 11 points.
Larned forced 14 first-half turnovers and limited the Bluejays to 10 first-half shots for a 30-5 halftime lead. Larned’s aggressive man-to-man defense led to a running clock for the fourth quarter after a 45-11 lead after the third quarter.
Larned’s offense operated with efficiency as the Indians shared the ball and hit key shots. Larned made 6 of 11 3-point shots and frequently got easy baskets with their crisp passing.
“Despite their record, Cimarron is a decent team," said Larned coach Jerrod Smith. "We needed to come out and take control early, and we did that. Our defense was super tonight and I liked how we shared the ball.”
