It's playoff time, and Ellinwood had no trouble coming through when it counted. They breezed past the Hill City Ringnecks to the tune of 58-27 on Friday. The Eagles have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine games by 23 points or more this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Ellinwood to victory, but perhaps none more so than Julia Schlessiger, who almost dropped a double-double with 14 points and nine rebounds. Schlessiger is also on a roll when it comes to shooting accuracy, as she's posted one of at least 57% in the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was Bennett Jacobs, who shot 60% from beyond the arc to rack up 18 points.
Ellinwood smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 19 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive boards in 18 consecutive matchups.
Despite the loss, Hill City still got an impressive performance from Rylie Minium, who posted 15 points and five boards. What's more, Minium also posted a 67% three-point shooting accuracy, which is the highest she's achieved since back in January of 2024. Cora Ashmore also deserves some recognition as she scored her first points of the season.
Ellinwood is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-2 record this season. This is the second loss in a row for Hill City and nudges their season record down to 1-19.
As of now, neither Ellinwood nor Hill City have any future games scheduled.
