HAVEN GIRLS 59, PANTHERS 34 — Haven's Avery Brawner converted several layups off turnovers in a 28-point effort to fuel the Wildcats' 59-34 victory over Great Bend. Brawner and the Wildcats converted 28 Panther turnovers into a layup drill. Brawner outscored Great Bend 17-12 for a 31-12 Haven halftime lead. Great Bend made 4 of 19 field goals with 16 turnovers, scoring 12 points on 37 offensive attempts. Give the Panther girls credit. A sleepwalking first half was followed by an aggressive half-court and full-court defense that forced 18 of 30 Haven turnovers after halftime. Great Bend's Alex Mayers played brilliantly with an 11-point game and superior defense and rebounding. Denver Ringo enjoyed her best game with eight points and stout defensive play. The Panthers (0-4) have been consistent with either a slow offensive start or a poor third quarter. This time, the Panthers outscored Haven 15-14 in the third quarter to prove they could match Haven's opportunistic defense. Great Bend basketball coach Jade Winter believes the Panthers must maintain their poise when things are aren't going well. "We're trying too hard to catch up after we try and dig ourselves out of a hole," Winter said. "We can't afford to get flustered. You've got to take it one shot, one pass, one possession at a time." Winter liked how Alex Mayers and Ringo responded after losing by 20-plus points. The Panthers are still figuring out a game-day intensity level. "We need to come out faster," she said. "It's like we have to play 'angry' before we get going."
