Pocahontas County had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Union Tigers 65-34. That 31 point margin sets a new team best for the Warriors this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Pocahontas County to victory, but perhaps none more so than Allyson Taylor, who dropped a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Taylor is on a roll when it comes to boards, as she's now pulled down eight or more in each of the last 16 games she's played. Another player making a difference was Calli Propst, who almost dropped a double-double with 16 rebounds and nine assists.

Pocahontas County smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 29 offensive boards. That's the most offensive rebounds they've posted since back in February of 2024.
When it comes to explaining why Union lost, don't look at Lexi Stahl. Despite the final result, she posted 17 points along with five boards and three steals. Stahl is becoming a predictor of Union's success: when she posts at least 15 points the team is 2-1 (and 4-13 when she doesn't). Chanelle Sutton was another key player, putting up seven points in addition to seven rebounds and four steals.
Pocahontas County is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-4 record this season. With the defeat, Union broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-14.
