The Parkers Prairie girls have put together another impressive start to the season after moving to 11-0 with a 58-26 win in Battle Lake last Friday.

The Panthers were coming off a 3-0 run through the Walker-Hackensack-Akeley Tournament where they beat three winning teams by an average of 14 points per game. Included in that was an 80-60 win over an 8-5 Pequot Lakes team.

Parkers Prairie carried that momentum with them into Battle Lake, where the Panthers took a 41-8 lead into the break. They never looked back from there on their way to a 5-0 record in the Little Eight Conference.

Parkers Prairie had just five players score but three of them finished in double figures. Micaela Noga finished with 21. Madison Dorn added 18 and Ally Taylor poured in 14 to help their cause.

Dorn had the high-point total during the holiday tournament in Walker with a 32-point night against Pequot Lakes. She added a team-high 24 in a 56-47 win over Red Lake Falls and 20 points in a 57-44 win over Frazee.
