Pearl City tops West Carroll

SAVANNA, Ill. — The Thunder excelled defensively but could not muster much offense in the 40-26 loss to Pearl City.

“For most of the game, we played outstanding defense,” West Carroll head coach Travis Findlay said. “The offensive side, however, we struggled. Paige Schneider had her best game of the year. We just need it to click on both ends.”

Schneider scored a team-high 13 points in the loss. She also recorded four steals and four rebounds.

The Thunder led 5-3 after the first quarter, but Pearl City exploded for 19 points in the second period to build a 22-8 halftime advantage.
