Thunder sweep Strasburg-Zeeland at Civic Center

Both the M-P-B boys and girls were in action for District 6 play, with their traditional neutral-court showdown with Strasburg-Zeeland at the Jamestown Civic Center last Tuesday night, January 17.

And, as has been in recent years, the Thunder didn't have much difficulty with the Clippers, as the girls took a 56-16 win and the boys followed by taking the night game, 51-23.

Isabel Schmidt, Allison Thomas and Lilly Bohl combined for seven treys and half of the Thunder's total scoring output, scoring 10, 10 and eight. Maddie Gefroh also scored eight points, and Abby Ryun showed some fourth-quarter promise with six.

S-Z, whose record now sits at 2-10 and 0-4 in District 6, was led by eight points from Addison Wagner. The Thunder evened their record at 6-6 for the winter and are 2-0 in district action.

For M-P-B (6-2, 1-0) in the boys' game, Sawyer Wanzek had triples on three occasions and finished with a game-best 12 points. The Clippers (1-9, 0-2) were paced by seven points each by Devin Feist and Brock Tougas.
