Hunter Hartshorn of Centennial controls the ball against Nebraska Christian Dec. 7.
Once the Centennial girls got into rhythm, they were able to get the offense going against David City in the season opener Dec. 5.
The Broncos beat the Scouts 67-44 behind 17 points from Hunter Hartshorn and 15 points from Kate Hirschfeld.
Centennial outscored David City 25-9 in the third quarter, and that broke the game open, Coach Jake Polk said.
On Dec. 7, the Broncos hosted Nebraska Christian and built a 32-12 halftime lead. That extended to 45-18 by the end of the third quarter.
Hirschfeld again scored 15 points, and Hartshorn added 10.
“I thought we did a better job finding our rhythm,” Polk said.
He said the Broncos committed some silly fouls, sending Nebraska Christian to the free throw line where they scored all 12 first-half points.
Polk said the CHS offense is ahead of where he thought it would be, and the Broncos are shooting well.
Up next for CHS (2-0) is a pair of home games – Sandy Creek Thursday, Dec. 12, and Tri County Saturday, Dec. 14. Both games are scheduled for 6 p.m.
