BANCROFT - North Gem could not overcome a slow start and fell 46-33 at home against Richfield on Saturday.

The Cowboys trailed 15-3 after one quarter. They twice cut the deficit to five but couldn't come back all the way.

"We came out flat, real flat," North Gem coach Corry Hatch said. "Aside from our slow start, we actually matched them pretty well."

Aspen Holbrook and Natalie Simons each scored eight points to pace North Gem. The Cowboys (8-6) next travel to play Aberdeen on Wednesday.
