The original Continental High Girls basketball schedule had the season with a 4 game road trip but thanks to some rescheduling it is now only a 3 game trip since the Pirates played Fort Jennings at home on Thursday. It looked like it was going to be the Musketeers night as they came out and took the first quarter 13-8. The Pirates cut into the Musketeers lead in the second, outscoring them by a 10-6 margin, for a 1 point Musketeer lead at half. Musketeers 19-18. The third quarter was all Continental as they outscored Fort Jennings 17-5 and the Pirates held an 11 point advantage heading into the last quarter 35-24. Although the Musketeers won the final quarter by 3 it was the Pirates who would take the win 41-33.
Catelyn Etter led the Pirate attack with 17 points while Maddie Burke put in 13. Madelyn Potts scored 6, Bryn Tegenkamp and Jensen Armey 2 each, and Tygre Troyer 1 point. Both Etter and Burke had double doubles as Etter pulled down 14 rebounds and Burke got 10. The Pirates won the battle of the board 34-24. The Pirates had 15 steals with Tegenkamp getting 4.
Continental improves to 5-12 (1-4 PCL) and will travel to Pandora Gilboa on Saturday for another Putnam County League game. Fort Jennings falls to 1-18 (1-5 PCL).
