Class A, No. 5 Waldron followed up a season-opening win over Class A, No. 10 Blue River Valley Friday with a 51-42 victory Saturday over Tri.

Waldron led 45-25 after three quarters over the Titans (1-1) but struggled from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter which allowed the visitors to rally. The Mohawks made just 4-of-12 from the charity stripe over the final eight minutes after hitting all six attempts through the first three quarters.

That allowed Bailey Parham, who scored 11 of her game-high 27 points in the fourth quarter, and Tri to close the gap. Parham did not have much scoring help, though. Amber Rich and Abi Clarke each scored six points.

Megan Bogemann connected on three 3-pointers and led Waldron (2-0) with 18 points.

Bella Larrison also made three 3s and finished with 17 points.

Nichole Garner followed with 10.

Waldron’s junior varsity squad improved to 2-1 with a 46-26 win over Tri.

Cendall Sheaffer led the Mohawks with 12 points. Alivia Fischer had eight.

On Friday, Waldron trailed 23-18 at halftime of its season opener but Garner caught fire in the third quarter, scored 10 of her team-high 18 points, and helped her team outscore the Vikings, 25-11, and take a 43-34 lead.

The Mohawks pulled away from there for a 59-41 win.

Bogemann splashed three 3s in the decisive third quarter and finished with 13 points.

Bella Larrison had 10 points and Hadlie Ross added eight.

Maci Chamberlin led Blue River Valley (0-1) with 11 points. Allyson Madden finished with eight and Samantha Loveless had seven.
