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.

A tough second quarter created a gap the Trappers had to chase the rest of the way. Scotland/Menno fought back and had opportunities late, but missed layups in the final minute sealed the outcome.

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

The Scotland/Menno Trappers were in a tight battle Friday night, trailing just 31-35 at halftime against the Pheasants. A tough stretch to open the third quarter created a gap that proved difficult to overcome, as the Trappers eventually fell 69-53.
Izayah Ulmer had a big offensive night, pouring in 27 points to go along with 7 rebounds. Hunter Clark added 7 points, while Jarret Andretta contributed 4 points and 6 rebounds, along with defensive pressure that resulted in steals and assists.
On the boards, Hunter Yosten pulled down 8 rebounds to go with 4 points, and Micah Goering added 5 points and 4 rebounds.
Despite the setback, the Trappers showed resilience, keeping the game competitive through the first half before the third-quarter surge by the Pheasants made the difference.
