Garden City's season ends with second round loss to Dodge City

Dodge City, KS-Dodge City had revenge on their mind from the jump.  

After suffering a two-point loss to Garden City 10 days earlier, the Conquistadors were all business on Tuesday night. 

Layla Cameron poured in 20 points, Paris Santacaterina chipped in 19, and Dodge City rolled into the Region VI semifinals with a resounding 92-57 victory over Garden City at the Student Activity Center.  

Stevi Yancy finished with 24 points for Garden City, which saw their season end abruptly at 17-14. Sierra Driessen and Ana Ramos Pires each scored 10.  

The Broncbusters shot just 34 percent from the field and were 3-of-14 from distance. And one game after tying the school single-game record for 3s made, Maya Nieto was held scoreless on 0-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc in 26 minutes.  

Dodge City, which improved to 26-5 and advanced to play Butler in the semis on Friday in Hutchinson, never trailed. They closed the first quarter on a 12-2 run punctuated by Cameron's 3-pointer that put the Conquistadors ahead, 23-12. They pushed the lead to 19 midway through the second and were up 21 at the intermission. 

The home team though put the game away in the third.  

Kyriana Jones made three straight layups to begin the second half, Santacaterina knocked down three 3-pointers from the wing, and Jones swished two free throws to put Dodge City up, 71-37 with 1:43 to go. It was 73-40 heading to the fourth.  

The Conquistadors bench outscored Garden City, 19-4 and they turned 22 Broncbuster turnovers into 34 points.
