VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Kameron Selvig scored 13 of her team high 16 points in the second half as Jamestown slipped by Valley City 65-59 in girl’s basketball Saturday night at the Hi-Liner Activity Center.
Selvig hit two key three pointers as part of an 11-0 run by the Jays in the second half to take a nine point lead.
The Hi-Liners used a 9-0 run early in the first half to take a 17-12 lead. And led by as much as nine before Jamestown’s 7-0 run to close out the first half made it 33-31. Taryn Dieterle scored 13 of her game high 19 points in the first 18 minutes.
But Jamestown’s pressure defense and cold shooting by Valley City was the difference in the second half. At one point the Hi-Liners were 3-21 shooting. They would hit six of their last nine shots but it was too late.
Dieterle was 13-13 from the free throw line and had five steals. Lindsey Noeske had the double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds. Grace Scherr had nine points and five rebounds. Josie Berntson and Jadyn Dieterle had eight points each. Berntson had five rebounds and Dieterle added eight assists.
