Third quarter again
culprit for Wayne Trace
FORT JENNINGS – Visiting Wayne Trace and host Fort Jennings battled to a 27-27 tie through two quarters of Saturday’s non-league girls basketball action.

However, much like a loss to Lincolnview earlier in the week, it was a dismal third quarter that proved too much to overcome as the Raiders were outscored 26-12 in the period before falling 66-51 to the Musketeers.

The loss drops the red, white and blue to 2-6 on the season while Fort Jennings moves to 4-5.

Wayne Trace’s Karena Egnor opened the second half with a trey that put the Raiders on top 30-27. From that point on, though, the quarter was all Fort Jennings.

The Musketeers closed the stanza on a 26-9 run with five different players scoring. Emily Kehres led the way with seven points in the quarter, while Gabbi German and Macy Schroeder added six. Alyssa Schimmoeller (5) and Cassie Lindeman (2) picked up the other

Musketeer markers as the orange and black took a 53-39 advantage into the final quarter.

Wayne Trace never got the deficit under double figures in the fourth quarter as the Musketeers cruised to the victory.
Krystal Wannemacher scored 11 points to pace the Lady Raiders with Egnor adding 10 and Shayna Temple chipping in nine.
Temple, Erin Mohr and Wannemacher all had six rebounds while Temple also recorded four steals. Brenda Feasby picked up three steals as well.
