FD girls fall to No. 3 Dragons

JOHNSTON — The third-ranked (Class 5A) Johnston girls had no trouble with Fort Dodge here Thursday night, posting a 70-15 victory.

Nicole Guerin led the Dodgers (0-14 overall) with five points, while Tory Bennett added four and Tristin Doster three.

For the Dragons (14-1), Maya McDermott had 15, with both Kendall Nead and Regan Nesheim scoring 12 each.

“That is a very good team with a lot of talented juniors and seniors,” FDSH head coach Scott Messerly said.

After the first quarter, Fort Dodge was down just 16-6, but Johnston outscored them 22-2 in the second and went up 56-10 after three quarters of play.

“We got a lot of good minutes out of seniors Ebonee Altman and Juliet Thompson,” Messerly said. “They both worked very hard on defense and I thought Nicole had a nice game, as well.”

The Dragons have won four in a row since suffering their lone loss of the year.

Next action for FDSH will be Friday night when they host Southeast Polk.

JOHNSTON 70, FORT DODGE 15

Fort Dodge — Tory Bennett 4, Juliet Thompson 1, Cheyenne Miller-Hameed 2, Tristin Doster 3, Nicole Guerin 5.
