The offensive struggles continued into the early part of the second half but a strong 3rd quarter from Mimi Smith helped to turn things around. Mimi scored 5 of her 9 points in the 3rd quarter to help increase the lead to 27 – 8. The final quarter was all Cardinals as they once again used their strong defense to blank the Wildkats and used those turnovers to create points. Ella King had 4 4th quarter points to go with her team-high 12 total points. The final score was 35 – 8. Ella and Mimi were helped in scoring by Belle Young and Madden Showalter who had 4 points each.
