GOESSEL – It may be a combination of things, but the Canton/Galva girls continue to struggle in the first week of the 2021-22 season as they dropped their third and fourth games on Friday, 35-10 to Burrton and on Saturday, 40-18 to Goessel at the Bluebird Classic.
On Friday, the Lady Eagles only scored one point in each of the first two quarters, finding themselves down 26-2 at the halftime break before Burrton cruised on in for the final 25-point, 35-10 win.
Only three Lady Eagles put points on the board as Lili Espinoza had four, Sage Toews scored three and Mimi Craig had a pair of points with both Espinoza and Toews hitting a three-pointer.
One note, the Lady Eagles played without one of their starters, leaving them with just seven players.
In the fifth-place game of the Bluebird Classic on Saturday, Canton/Galva did a bit better on the scoreboard by scoring 18 points, unfortunately host Goessel put up 40 to get the win.
Once again the girls struggled to get points on the board early as they were outscored 11-1 in the first quarter before getting six in the second and going into the halftime break behind 27-7.
Sage Toews led the Lady Eagles in scoring with seven while the team welcomed back Brecken Pearson and she chipped in with five.
