Jessie O’Conner led the Rams in scoring with 15 points. Kiwi Plecker added seven points and Mikayla Miller scored six points.

According to Pocahontas County scorekeeper Bruce McKean, the game was postponed for more than an hour due to an injury Michelle Murphy suffered in the junior varsity game played prior to the varsity contest.
