CAM won both the girls and boys games Tuesday night against Rolling Valley Conference rival Coon Rapids-Bayard in Anita.

The Cougars took control early, jumping out to an 18-1 first quarter lead, in posting a 74-34 win.  Four players hit double figures for CAM as they used full-court defense to create a number of easy baskets and hit eight three pointers.  Sammi Jahde had a game-high 18 points, Zoey Baylor scored 15, Macy Ticknor had 11 and Paige McAfee finished with ten.  The Cougars improved to 12-1 with the win.

The Crusaders were led by freshman Brynn Bass with 15 points.

The boys game was close at the half, but the Cougars got a spark off the bench to overwhelm the Crusaders in a 52-28 win.

DeShawn Carr scored 18 off the bench, including four from the arc.  Both teams were deliberate offensively early on and both had trouble scoring.  It was 4-2 Crusaders late in the first quarter when Carr hit a pair of quick baskets to give CAM a 6-4 lead after one quarter.  They would never trail again, as they held a 17-15 halftime edge.

A big 19-5 third quarter advantage put the Cougars in command.  Joining Carr in double figures for the Cougars was Lane Spieker with 15.  CAM improves to 5-7.

Coon Rapids-Bayard was led by Ben Obert with 10 points, 14 below his average.
