Second Chance Points Carry G Prep to 75-46 Win

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gonzaga Prep vs Richland</strong></h2>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Stood Out</strong></h2>   <p>This game was decided by physicality and efficiency. Gonzaga Prep won the rebounding battle 52–23 and posted a staggering 58.5 percent offensive rebound rate. That translated into a 25–5 advantage in second chance points. Richland shot 43.5 percent in the first half but dropped to 26.9 percent in the second, while Prep improved its three point efficiency dramatically after halftime, going 7 of 15 from deep in the second half. The Bullpups also closed on a 19–2 run at one point and never allowed a meaningful push after building a double digit lead.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Who Stood Out</strong></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Cornwall led all scorers with 25 points on 7 of 18 shooting and an impressive 8 of 9 from the free throw line. She knocked down three three pointers and consistently attacked gaps when Richland's defense overcommitted. Her ability to convert at the stripe kept momentum firmly on Prep's side during runs. She also added nine total rebounds and three steals, showing her impact extended beyond scoring.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Hernandez finished with 24 points on 9 of 18 shooting, including four made threes. She was especially effective in the second half when Prep's perimeter shooting opened the floor. Her confidence as a scorer forced Richland to extend defensively, which only increased second chance opportunities inside. She paired scoring with defensive activity, adding a block and a steal.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Peterson's stat line tells the story of physical dominance. She pulled down 14 rebounds, seven of them offensive, which fueled Prep's 25 second chance points. While she scored seven points, her rebounding and presence inside were far more impactful than the scoring column suggests. She consistently created extra possessions that wore Richland down.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Kukes was Richland's offensive engine, finishing with 20 points on 8 of 16 shooting. She was efficient inside the arc and hit a three while also converting three of five from the free throw line. Even as the game widened, she continued attacking and looking for scoring angles. Her effort kept Richland competitive early before Prep's depth created separation.</p>    <p>This was a clinic in rebounding and second half execution. Gonzaga Prep did not just outscore Richland, they overwhelmed them on the glass and capitalized on extra possessions. When the Bullpups added efficient perimeter shooting to that interior advantage, the game tilted decisively. For Richland, the first half efficiency suggested opportunity, but their inability to match physicality on the boards ultimately proved too much to overcome.</p>
