Prep Roundup: Sand Creek drops tournament game at Adrian College
Sand Creek’s girls basketball team ran into a buzzsaw Wednesday at Adrian College.
The Aggies fell to the East Jackson (4-3) Trojans, 52-39, in a non-conference game. Sand Creek is hosting the two-day event at the Merillat Center, which features two Tri-County Conference teams and two teams from the Cascades Conference.
The two teams combined for just 10 first quarter points, but the second quarter was a different story.
Sand Creek’s Emily Carbajal scored 13 of her team-best 17 points in the second quarter but East Jackson scored 27 in the quarter, including 10 of 13 free throws, to lead 33-21 at halftime.
That second quarter outburst proved to be the difference. The two teams were virtually even in the next two quarters.
