Basketball: Allen lifts Ida; Bedford girls, Whiteford boys win
IDA – Clare Allen provided the offense.
Then Ida's defense stepped up.
Allen nailed a 3-pointer just before halftime to give her team a 20-16 edge in a non-league girls basketball game against Erie Mason Tuesday night.
That was enough as the Blue Streaks allowed just 7 points in the second half. The key to that effort was slowing down Mason standout Kaylie Bash. She scored 11 points in the first half but did not have a point after the intermission.
"In the second half Ida was able to step up the pressure and got baskets off its press," Ida coach Tim Leonard said. "We did a much better job of knowing where Bash was and contesting shots."
Grace Capling paced the Blue Streaks with 13 points and Jessica Schrader added 10.
"Their defensive pressure in the second half was the difference in the game," Mason coach Josh Sweigert said. "They were able to convert on the offensive end due to their defensive pressure."
Ida's junior varsity won 42-20. Ida's Alyssa Torres scored 19 points, and Mason's Hannah Stachowski had 12.

BOYS BASKETBALL
Whiteford 65, Dundee 57
OTTAWA LAKE – Whiteford used a 25-point second quarter to surge ahead of Dundee and stayed there the rest of the game.
Dundee held early leads of 6-4, 13-7, and 15-8 after a coast-to-coast layup from Braiden Whittaker with 1:33 left in the first quarter.
Hunter DeBarr closed out the first quarter with an offensive rebound put-back just before the buzzer to make it 17-12, then the Bobcats scored the first 14 points of the second quarter.
Josh Hill hit a jumper and then followed it with a 3-pointer off an assist from Shea Ruddy. Liam Waterford scored two field goals during the run.
“Our defense fueled the run,” Whiteford coach Nick Abalos said. “We started to really put pressure on their guards which helped. Then we knocked down some shots.”
In the second half, Dundee mounted a comeback, highlighted by a breakaway dunk from Whittaker to pull within 32-27 with 51 seconds left in the third quarter, but DeBarr hit a 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer for a 37-27 Bobcat lead.
Ryan Zanger and Drew Bolster each hit 3-pointers as Dundee tried to come back in the fourth quarter. Whiteford drained 7-of-9 free throws to stay in front.
“Very proud of the guys,” Abalos said. “Everyone who got in scored.”
Evan Parker led Whiteford (3-3) with 16 points while DeBarr added 15 and Josh Hill 12.
Whittaker paced 3-3 Dundee with 26 points.
