In what was a tough back and forth game Altamont improved to 3-0 with a 50-46 win over Flora on Monday in their first game at the Bob Kerans Holiday Tournament.
Both teams came out a little slow on offense as the game was tied at 10 after the first quarter. Altamont would take the lead at the half 23-22. Altamont would then come out of the half with an 8-1 run to get their biggest lead of the night but Flora wouldn’t go away and only trailed 38-36 after the third quarter. Altamont would end up getting the win after making some free throws down the stretch.
Altamont was led on offense by Grace Nelson who had 34 points and is now just 20 points away from the all time school record. However it wasn’t a great night for Altamont offensively as they were 16/56 from the field and 4/18 from behind the arch. Altamont also got out rebounded by Flora 34-32.
Altamont will try to turn things around on Wednesday when they take on the host Newton, who lost to Effingham 39-23. That game will be at 7:30 PM on 105.5 and 100.5 Jack FM.
