Alden-Conger girls’ basketball head coach Gary Newman is quick to give credit when it’s due and it was Friday night when his Knights fell 61-46 to Truman in Alden.

Alden-Conger (1-1) lost a four-point halftime lead in the second half as the Bluejays (3-0) made adjustments in the second half and the Knights failed to react.

“Give them credit they’re a good basketball team,” Newman said. “They were very tenacious in their man-to-man and we didn’t react to it.”

Four Truman players scored in double figures with Jordan Feis leading the way with 15 points.

The Knights were led by Kenzie Martin’s 17 points in her first game back since breaking her pinky finger in practice.

Katie Hallman added 11 points while Ariel Keller scored seven, Allyssa Maras six, Amber Erickson four and Shelby Little one.

Alden-Conger travels to Granada Tuesday to face Granada-Huntley-East Chain.
