Rams Double Doubles Give Chargers Double Trouble

This was not supposed to happen last season and it wasn't supposed to happen this season yet it did and Elsik is one game away from a return trip to Austin. Clear Springs forced close to double digit turnovers in the first quarter however Crystal Porter and Akunna Elonu kept them in the game as they trailed 21-13


Elsik lost to Clear Springs 66-63 in the the Peggy Whitley Classic however neither team had their point guards. Jasmine Ocanas opened the second quarter with a three while Brooke McCarty had numerous steals which led to buckets but again the duo of Elonu and Porter was simply too much to handle as the gap was closed 28-24 at the half, Springs being outscored 11-7 in the quarter which was sort of an omen


Courtney Latham and Jo Ann Lira  kept hitting big shots throughout the evening but one thing about this Elsik team is if you let them hang around, more than likely something bad is going to happen, well good if you're a Ram and the defensive pressure from those Rams held Clear Springs to only 4 points in the third quarter and 12 for the second half as the Rams face Cy Falls to see who goes to state. Porter 16 points,12 rebounds combined with Elonu's 14 and 15
