Augusta girls knock down two more

Beavers travel for wins against Whitehall, Gilman

The Augusta girls basketball team moved to a 5-1 season record, gaining two additional wins in last week’s play; a 75-52 defeat of the 2013-14 Dairyland champions on Thursday, Dec. 11 followed by a 55-34 victory in a non-conference match up at Gilman on Friday, Dec. 12. 

The Beavers traveled to Whitehall on Thursday, falling behind 15-13 after the initial quarter of play before picking up the pace a bit. Augusta headed to the locker room with a 6-point advantage at 32-26. 

Sparked by a steal and a basket by Maddie McConville, the Lady Beavs poured in 28 points in the third quarter while holding the Norsemen to a mere nine. The final eight minutes had both teams playing evenly as the Beavers stunned Whitehall with a commanding 75-52 victory. 

Four members of the Augusta team scored in double figures: Cathy Renneke with 20, Kayla Erdman with 16, Dani Nelson with 15 and Devon Shilka, who had 11. Nelson secured eight rebounds while Shilka and Renneke each snagged six. Nelson also dished out eight assists and grabbed four steals to lead the team in the victory. 

The next night, the tired Beaver team headed to Gilman. The Lady Beavs had to dig deep and concentrate to stay focused after the previous night’s big win. 

Augusta came out hard and fast, outscoring the Pirates 20-6 in the first eight minutes of play. 

Both teams struggled in the second, only adding nine points each to the scoreboard. The second half of the night showed the Beavers outscoring the Pirates 15-11 in the third and 11-8 in the final period of play before walking away with a 55-34 victory. 

Every player on the Augusta team contributed points to the win with Nelson leading at 19 points; four shots were from behind the arc. Katie Nelson added 10 points, shooting 66 percent from the field. Dani Nelson grabbed eight boards while Renneke had another six. McConville and Erdman led the team in steals with five and four, respectively.
