The ADM basketball teams split their doubleheader Tuesday night at Carroll, as the girls won big while the boys lost by 20.
The ADM girls won a season-high third consecutive game by demolishing Carroll, 68-30. ADM lead by 17 at the break and never looked back, scoring 25 points in the third quarter. Senior Erica Baier had a game-high 13 points off the bench, which was matched by junior Brianna Mueller, who scored all 13 of her points in the first half.
Junior Molly Jacobsen added 11 and sophomore Allie Cook had five points in her first career start. The only negative news of the evening was that senior Emily Hofmann sat out due to bicep tendinitis that has bothered her the past two weeks, which forced Cook into the starting lineup.
The Tigers improved to 7-9 overall and 4-5 in conference play.
The ADM boys, meanwhile, were undone by a bevvy of turnovers and the inability to contain Carroll’s big three. ADM trailed by just nine at halftime, but Carroll put together its second straight 25-point period in the third quarter, when the home Tigers pulled away from the visiting Tigers and cruised to a 79-59 win.
ADM could not slow down Carroll’s Kolby Molinsky or Eli Cleveland, who both scored in the 20’s, and Addison Ross, who finished in the high teens. All three came in to the game averaging 12.3 points per game or more.
The boys Tigers fell to 3-12 overall and 3-6 in conference play.
Both ADM basketball teams return home this Friday looking for revenge against a pair of Ballard teams that thumped them in Huxley earlier this season.
