PINGREE, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) The MPB Thunder tied the game at two early on in the first quarter, but it was all Carrington after that as they cruise to a 53-25 victory over Medina/Pingree/Buchanan in Class B Region 3 Girls Basketball. Carrington is now 9-0, MPB drops to 3-4.

The Thunder couldn’t really get anything going, as Carrington’s tough defense and full-court press was to much for the Thunder. At the end of the first quarter, the Cardinals led 12-3, and at half they led 33-13. The Cardinals had two players in double figures, Junior Madison Johnson led all scorers with 14, including three 3-pointers, Junior Kacie Rexin added 11 off the bench. MPB was led by Allison Thomas and Maddie Gefroh with six each.

Next up for No. 7 Carrington will be on Thursday in Carrington as they host fellow District 5 team the Ellendale Cardinals.
