RED OAK — Creston eighth-graders pulled away from a 19-12 halftime lead to defeat Red Oak Thursday, 40-16, to conclude an 8-3 season.
Brielle Baker had 16 points and six steals for Creston. Megan Haley finished with nine points.
“The girls did a nice job and ended the season with a win!” Creston coach Sarah Stephens said. “We came out in a zone press and scored easy points off the steals. The girls really learned to be patient on offense and take the open shots against the zone defense. We struggled with rebounding in the second half, but the girls were able to keep scoring on the offensive end. These girls really love playing the game of basketball and being able to see them grow as a team throughout the season has been a blast!”
Creston also won the B game, 14-8. Grace Root had four points.

7th girls
RED OAK — Red Oak’s undefeated seventh-grade team defeated the Creston girls Monday, 45-8.
Ellie Rengstorf led Red Oak with 10 points. Sydney Hartsock scored four points for Creston, which concluded a 4-7 season.
“We overmatched by bigger, faster talented team that could probably challenge some freshman teams,” Creston coach Larry Peterson said. “We tried to attack the basket when we broke the press, but a lot of contact was allowed and that didn’t work out for us, either. The girls kept battling. I was proud of their effort all season. We had two two-point losses to Winterset and lost by four to Shenandoah on a day we made only 8-of-25 free throws, so I told them they were on the brink of a much different time of outcome this season. I look forward to watching them develop next year.”
Red Oak won a tightly-contested B game, 9-7. Lexi Rounds scored three points for Creston.
“This game was much closer than our first meeting with Red Oak,” Peterson said. “The girls really got competitive in the B games as the season went along.”
