Cougars Girls Run Streak to Six

It’s unknown just how long it has been since the Mabel-Canton girls have won six straight. Minnesota-scores.net is down, erasing ten years of game-by-game results. It hasn’t happened in at least four years. Courtesy of wins over Alden-Conger and Hope Lutheran, the Cougars ran their record to a county-best 11-4 (SEC 5-1). The Knights fell 51-41. M-C got double-doubles from Coranda Vickerman (22 pts, 8-16 FGs, 11 rebs, 4 assists) and Courtney Graves (10 pts, 10 rebs). Payton Danielson helped (14 pts, 4-7 three’s, 8 rebs). The Patriots were a tougher nut. The first half was 10-all, the second half 29-all, for the 39-all tie at the end of regulation. M-C then won overtime 12-3 for the 51-42 win. They beat Hope in December 46-22. Vickerman (23 pts, 3-7 three’s, 7 rebs, 7 assists) led the way, with help from Graves (9 pts, 5 rebs), Lexi Thorson (9 pts, 3-8 three’s, 5 rebs), and Danielson (8 pts, 5 rebs). Winners of eight of nine, the Cougars are one victory shy of last year’s win total (12-15).
