CENTRAL POINT — South Medford wasn’t satisfied with its play through the first half of Thursday’s Southern Oregon Conference girls basketball game, and that spelled trouble for Crater in the second half.
The Class 6A Panthers used a 33-17 run in the third quarter to shake off any first-half woes and cruised to a 74-34 triumph at Crater High.
“It’s hard to say you’re happy after a 40-point loss,” said Crater coach Scott Dippel, “but I take a little pride in the fact that I thought we played hard. South’s a very good team. I don’t think people realize how talented of a ballcub it is.”
Eleven players scored overall for South Medford (9-0), with junior post Sierra Logue scoring eight of her team-high 16 points during the Panthers’ third-quarter onslaught. Logue also finished with eight rebounds and three blocks.
“We were very flat to start the game,” said South Medford coach Tom Cole. “I don’t think we rose to the level of energy we needed. I thought Crater’s focus and energy was greater than ours to start the game but we did a much better job of that coming out of halftime.”
Sophomore Donovyn Hunter scored 14 points and senior Emma Schmerbach added 10 points, with both South standouts also sparking their team from the defensive end.
Hunter finished with four of the Panthers’ 20 steals, while Schmerbach had two steals and five rebounds and Bella Stone had six steals and two assists.
“Emma Schmerbach and Donovyn Hunter, they are just so long,” said Dippel. “In the traps, even if they don’t get credit for the steals, between the two of them they seemed to be deflecting everything that came their way.”
Crater (10-2) trailed only 16-10 through one quarter, giving rise to hopes of a close competition, but the Panthers closed the first half up 29-15.
“We defended really well early,” said Dippel, “but you make a couple errors against them and it equals points. They can get a turnover and turn it into a lay-in real quick.”
Crater turned the ball over 15 times in the third quarter against South’s defensive pressure.
Kate Stidham and Chase Weaver each scored eight points to pace the Comets, with Weaver also adding three rebounds and two blocks.
Madison Dutkiewicz had seven points and Crater got four rebounds and two assists apiece from McKenzie Hirsch and Teya Amidei.
