Roland Story used a smothering full court defense to defeat Perry 59-37 in Heart of Iowa girls basketball Tuesday night inside the Perry Sports Pavilion.  The Norse jumped out a 16-1 first quarter lead and never looked back.  Perry struggled to get their half court offense working due to the full court pressure.  The Jayettes were held to 11 points at the half.

Karagyn Whelchel returned to the Perry lineup for the first time this season.  The freshman played her first varsity minutes following off season shoulder surgery.  Whelchel finished with 9 points in her debut.

Lydia Olejniczak and Reagan Baldwin paced Perry with 12 points each.  Olejniczak broke the Perry school record for career rebounds in the first half.  Perry coach Claire Marburger held the record for several years.

The Jayettes have dropped three straight and now sit 4-11 on the year and 2-8 in the conference.
