Feb. 7—ELK RAPIDS — Elk Rapids girls basketball extended their winning streak to six games Monday after an all-around team performance in the Elks' 69-25 home win against Manton.

The Elks (13-2, 9-1 Lake Michigan) didn't waste any time to get in front of the Rangers (5-12, 5-8 Highland) with Elks senior Lauren Bingham and junior Morgan Bergquist splashing back-to-back 3-pointers to make it smooth sailing the rest of the game.

"We came out with good intensity," Elk Rapids head coach Mike Brown said. "We have a three-game week this week, so I told the girls we have to get off to a nice start."

Kendall Standfest finished with 18 points, nine boards, five assists and four steals. Bingham finished with a team-high 19 while collecting three assists and two steals.

"Lauren has been one of our four-year players," Brown said. "When she starts shooting outside, it's tough to guard her."

Anna Pray racked up eight points and two rebounds. Lily Morton finished with eight assists, four steals and three rebounds.

With just five games left in the regular season for the Elks, they finish their next four games at home, starting with Kalkaska on Tuesday and Traverse City St. Francis on Thursday.

The Rangers look to snap their six-game losing streak against Roscommon at home next Tuesday.
