The Stanton Viqueens picked up a home win on Monday night over the Griswold Tigers 53-49 in Girls hoops. The Viqueens led the majority of the game and a late charge by the Tigers was too little too late.

Stanton’s lead was right around 6 points for a good chunk of the game as they led by 5 after 1 quarter and 6 at half and at the end of the third.  The Viqueens had stretched the lead to double digits before Griswold hit some late shots to edge closer. Danika Kentner and Mandi Backhaus combined for 13 points in the fourth quarter to try to rally the Tigers but the rally started too late and they ran out of time.

Stanton got a strong performance from Senior Chelsea Weis who led the team with 19 points. She picked up 3 fouls in the first half and didn’t start the second half with the foul trouble. It wasn’t long into the half when Coach Dave Snyder decided to put her back in and it payed off as she dropped 11 points in the third quarter to spark the Viqueens to the win. Savanna Moffett finished with 10 and Stanton improved to 5-2 on the season.  They travel to Sidney on Tuesday night.

Griswold falls to 2-5 and was led in the loss by Danika Kentner with 15 points.  The Tigers travel to Tri-Center on Tuesday night.
