CARBONDALE ? Two Santa Fe Trail players recorded double-doubles and the Chargers shrugged off poor shooting to stifle Kansas City Piper, 38-27, in high school girls basketball on Friday.

“We were ready for a break, I think,” SFT coach Brenda Dahl said. “We had a long week.”

Melisa Ball and Alexis Pryor helped make sure Santa Fe Trail ended it with a victory. Ball had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Pryor had 10 points and 11 boards for the Chargers, who improved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 for the week.

“I told them three games in a week had something to do with our poor shooting,” Dahl said. “I don’t even want to look at our percentage. They sat in a zone for most of the game, and we couldn’t shoot our way out of a paper bag. It was tough, but they hung in there.”

Jennie Deitrich added 10 points for SFT, which will be idle until Jan. 10.

Michael Guy scored 15 points, while Cameron Babb and Jay Shively contributed 14 apiece in Santa Fe Trail’s loss to KC Piper.

Piper hit a three-pointer from the corner at the buzzer to win the game.

“We battled hard the second half and showed improvement the second half,” SFT coach Brian Luther said. “We deserved to have it at least go to overtime. The last shot was a knife to the heart.”

Trail fell to 1-3 and will next play Jan. 7 at Basehor-Linwood.
