Balanced attack lifts PCM girls past Greene County

MONROE — Three players scored in double figures, three reserves had career nights and the PCM girls basketball team dominated Greene County on Friday.

The Class 3A No. 10 Mustangs started fast against the Rams and never looked back in a 68-14 home win during Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play.

It was PCM’s fifth straight win overall. The Mustangs swept Greene County this winter and outscored the Rams 128-36.

Libby Winters led the Mustangs with 17 points, four rebounds and four steals. It was the 12th double-digit scoring game of Winters’ prep career, which spans 16 games.

Tori Lindsay added 15 points, four rebounds and three steals and Rebecca De Vries matched a career-high with 10 points and grabbed six rebounds off the bench.

Kyra Naeve posted four points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals and Addison Steenhoek collected four points, four rebounds and three assists.

Kenna Grier scored a career-high eight points and tallied four rebounds and three steals off the bench.

PCM’s bench production was impressive as Camden Webb had four points and a career-best 10 boards, Katelynn Fagg swiped three steals and Bailey Wheeler and Darbey DeRaad each grabbed two boards.

The Mustangs (14-2, 10-1 in the conference) shot 41 percent from the floor, made 3-of-24 from 3 and connected on 3-of-8 from the free-throw line.

PCM turned the ball over 14 times but collected 21 steals and grabbed 32 offensive rebounds.

It was PCM’s eighth straight win in the series, and the Mustangs are 26-2 against Greene County (0-16, 0-11) since 2009.
