The Addison High School girls basketball team fell to Cascades Conference rival and Class C No. 4-ranked Manchester 64-43 on Thursday night.

Addison (8-8, 3-8 Cascades) was up and down offensively all night long, especially in the first half. The Panthers were able to get open shots, but struggled to put points on the board.

"We just struggled to score," said Addison coach Tory VanSickle. "Manchester was running a zone that stopped just outside the 3-point line. We needed to hit 3s from deeper or make a move inside the zone. We couldn't really do either the first half, but improved in the second."

A lot of Addison's offensive troubles can also be attributed to turnovers. The Panthers committed 26 turnovers during the game, many of which led directly to points8-0 run. The late burst by the Panthers put them down 12 at the half, 28-16.

Addison continued to roll into the third quarter, opening with a 5-0 run and climbing within seven of the Flying Dutch. Back-to-back 3s from Manchester's Taylor Manders and a few second-chance baskets put Manchester back up 34-23.

"When we got down 11 in the third, it really hurt us," VanSickle said. "We never really got back into the game from that point."
