The Lady Oracles came home from Frontier with a 49- 35 victory to even their record at 4-4. They dropped below .500 with a 61-32 loss to Central Catholic.

For the first time this year both Hannah Strasser and Jordayn Jargstorf were in the starting lineup together. On this night against the Falcons' zone defense they took advantage of the weak spot in the middle and hit several key baskets to lead Delphi to the win. Not to be out done was the defensive performance of Kari Lake on the Falcons' Kierston Pullins, who is arguably Frontier's best player.

Stasser put back a missed shot to open the game, scoring for Delphi, and followed by consecutive scores by Jargstorf. Delphi led 6-4 halfway through the first quarter when the Falcons' Carly Wesner scored the next eight points for Frontier to make it 12-8, Frontier. During the last minutes Jargstorf hit one of two free throws followed by baskets by Kari Lake and Randee Schultz to trail by one at 14-13 entering the second period.

Jargstorf put Delphi up 15- 14 15 seconds after play resumed and the Oracle defense kept the Falcons from scoring for nearly four minutes. During this time the Oracles could not extend their lead so when the Falcons finally scored they took the lead back and trailed 20-19 at the half.

After halftime it took less than a minute for the Falcons to score four quick points and grab some momentum. When Natalie Wilbanks hit a three pointer for Frontier they had a 27-21 lead and seemed to be in control of the game. Oracle coach Dan Dawson called a timeout with the score 31- 25 to set up Delphi's full court press. While this didn't produce many turnovers it did disrupt the Falcons flow. Jargstorf's basket started a comeback by the Oracles. Consecutive baskets by Dani Burge, one a trey, in a 30-second span to close the third brought the Oracles to within one at 33-32.

Whitney Arion hit a three coming out for the fourth to put the Oracles ahead to stay. Frontier could never get any momentum going again as the Oracle defense would only allow the Falcons to score two points in the fourth period while the offense was putting up 17, eight of them by Arion.

Vs. Central Catholic

During a ten minute span in the first and second quarters the Central Catholic Knights turned the tide against the Oracles, and won 61-32.

The Oracles had built an 8-7 lead through the early shooting of Lake, who had scored seven of those points. With that one point lead at the 2:40 mark of the opening quarter the momentum suddenly swung in favor of the Knights. It started when Coach Dawson received a technical foul. The Knights' Sarah Burks sank two free throws to give CC the lead. The Oracles would score a mere five points the rest of the first half while the Knights were putting up 17. CC held a 26-13 halftime lead.

Burge put four points on the scoreboard for the Oracles to open the second half of play, but the Oracles could get no closer than nine. The Knights kept adding to the advantage throughout and they had a 37- 23 lead after three.

CC led by 22 (45-23) before the Jargstorf could get a ball to go through the basket in the final period. It was too little, too late for the Oracles as they were outscored 24-9 in the fourth. CC won its fifth game in a row to go to 6-4 for the year while the Oracles fall to 4-5 on the season.

The Oracle JV team was attempting a come back from a double digit deficit but ran out of time and was edged by CC. 41-36.
