M-P-B had to overcome a double-digit deficit to do so, but they fought and clawed for an emotional three-point win in their debut in District 6 play over the N-G-S Imperials in Medina to snap a six-game slide.
The Thunder’s perform-ance at the free-throw line in the second half helped them towards the victory, as they went 12-for-16 in spite of making only six field goals in the half.
Seven different players for M-P-B (4-6, 1-0 District 6) had at least one successful trip to the stripe, and Allison Thomas’ 11 points were a team-high.
For the Imperials (8-5, 3-1 District 6), Sophie Ketterling finished with 13 points and Teagan Erble added 12 more.
