At Ovid-Elsie, the Lady Marauders took down the visiting Lakeville Falcons Friday night, 66-26.  Ava Bates had a game-high 17 points to go along with 5 rebounds and 3 steals.  Braeden Tokar added 16 points and 6 rebounds to propel Ovid-Elsie to 8-1 (6-0 MMAC).

"They sat in a zone all night trying to slow us down," said Head Coach Ryan Cunningham.  "After a slow start, I was really happy with how we executed on both ends of the floor and worked the ball inside.  Tokar showed some dominance inside."

Ellyanna Carman added 9 points and 4 rebounds for OE while Hailee Campbell chipped in with 8 points and 4 rebounds.  Evalyn Cole (9 steals) and Tava Kvalevog each added 4 points and Alyson Moore and Lily Bates each a triple en route to their 3 points each.  Kenzie Keck rounded out the scoring with a pair of free throws.

Ovid-Elsie connected on 16 of 19 tries from the foul line and collected 21 steals on 33 Falcon turnovers.  The Lady Marauders also handed out 20 assists on 23 made baskets and out-rebounded Lakeville 29-19.

It will be a short turnaround as Ovid-Elsie will travel to Cadillac Saturday for a 4 p.m. showcase game against Petoskey.
