Ferris Falls to Kamiakin After Slow Start

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ferris vs Kamiakin</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Stood Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This game was defined by efficiency and second chances. Ferris shot 24 percent from the field and 32 percent from three, while Kamiakin shot 36 percent overall and converted 10 free throws to Ferris' six. The biggest statistical separator was on the glass. Kamiakin finished with 40 total rebounds, including 21 offensive boards, compared to Ferris' 26 total rebounds. Those extra possessions consistently extended Braves scoring opportunities and prevented Ferris from generating momentum. Turnovers also told part of the story. Ferris committed 18, while Kamiakin had 10. In a game where shot making was already difficult, empty possessions became too much to overcome. Ferris found success from beyond the arc with seven threes, but interior scoring and rebounding control belonged to Kamiakin throughout the night</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Who Stood Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1310232"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699670166b227"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lewis finished with 14 points, knocking down two three pointers and converting both of her free throws.
