The PCSN was in Abingdon last night for the Monmouth-Roseville Titan girls basketball game against the A-Town Tornadoes. It was senior night for the Lady Tornadoes and lone senior Emma Ginther and her parents were recognized before the game began. A-Town would score the first five points of the game and ride that momentum to a 9-6 lead at the first quarter horn. Monmouth-Roseville senior Ryley Huston scored 18 points in her team’s opening night win over Macomb on Monday but suffered an ankle injury with five and half minutes left in the period. She would not return and the Titans would have to find scoring from another source. Sophomore Lexi Finnicum picked up some of the slack with a six point second quarter and it was Monmouth-Roseville leading at the half 21-16. The third quarter also saw no one getting more than a five point lead and A-Town came out hot to start the second half, regaining a 31-30 lead heading into the fourth quarter. The final period saw numerous ties and lead changes but at the end of the game, it was the Tornadoes remaining undefeated on the season with a 51-49 victory. Junior Ashley Jones led A-Town in scoring with 18 points and fellow junior Bailey Dickerson was also in double figures for the Tornadoes with ten points. Kelci Shelton and Mattie Gillen led Monmouth-Roseville with 17 and 13 points, respectively. A-Town, now (3-0) is back on the floor tonight with a rescheduled home game against Lewistown.
