The Lady Trappers closed out the regular season with a hard-fought 33-30 win over the Parker/Marion Pheasants.
In a tight, back-and-forth contest, Scotland/Menno made the plays that mattered late to secure the victory.
Lexie McNinch led the way with 8 points and 14 rebounds, controlling the glass all night. Kailin Odens added 7 points and 9 rebounds, while Emmalyn Heckenlaible chipped in 7 points and 5 rebounds.
Hope Starwalt contributed 4 points and 5 rebounds, and Kylie Gothmiller added 4 points and 7 rebounds to help anchor the defensive effort.
A big part of this team’s consistency all season has been the steady presence of Zoe Schaeffer, who has started throughout the year, and Ashlyn Burkett, who has played a key role in the rotation and brings valuable energy and leadership every night.
These girls compete hard — and they like to have fun doing it — and that chemistry showed in another close win for the Lady Trappers.

Brock Buechler added 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 steals, while Hunter Yosten contributed 8 points and 4 rebounds.

The Trappers Girls JV team finishes its season with a pair of Wins!
On Tuesday the JV team played Viborg-Hurley and and won the first of 2 games by a score of 17 to 12.
Leading the way for the Trappers was Leah Crick with 6 points, Avery Smith with 4 points, and Elle Hlavac with 3 points. Campbell Mogck had 6 rebounds and Eve Robb had 4 steals.
On Thursday the JV team played Parker-Marion in a single contest and won by a score of 19 to 13.

It all starts with defense and rebounding, our defense both in the full and half court was aggressive and active. We moved the ball well, found some open looks and hit some shots.
