Exira-EHK beat GTRA earlier this week because of their efficient ability on the offensive end. When you look at the numbers, GTRA went 4/33 from behind the arc. Exira on the other hand went 3/12. GTRA went 8/14 from the charity stripe while Exira went 14/26. As you can tell just by these stat lines, Exira was getting most of their action in the middle of the floor on offense. They fed their Post and it was down-hill from there. The main contributor for the Spartans, who has been their top dawg all Winter long, was Taryn Petersen Taryn Petersen 5'6" | SG Exira-EHK | 2027 State IA . She registered a decent stat line to lead her team but her presence was the most important factor in my eyes. The opposing team having to use time, spacing, and energy on her is the reason that they dominated things from start to finish. Petersen has been someone with huge numbers for years now so it’s awesome to see that she has led her team to a 24-1 record as we move into 2025-2026 High School State Week.
