Washington used its size inside and its all-around depth to race past Jefferson, 66-39, Friday night in a Mississippi Valley Conference girls basketball game at Washington.

Danielle Franklin and Kelli Klaus had 13 points apiece to lead the No. 5 Warriors (5-0, 5-0 MVC). Aleena Hobbs added 11 points. Klaus also grabbed seven rebounds. Brooke Foreman had six assists.

Washington used a full-court trapping defense to force 22 turnovers. The Warriors also played 14 players while Jefferson played just five.

Jefferson (4-5, 1-5) was led by Rachel Broghammer's 17 points. Maddie Koolbeck and Kaitlyn Davidson had nine points apiece.

Washington kept Jefferson scoreless in the first 3 1/2 minutes of the contest, rolled up a 35-14 halftime lead, and had nine Warriors figure in the scoring.

“I’m pleased with our efforts on the offensive glass and I hope by our depth that we are difficult to defend because so many players have contributed thus far in the season,” Washington Coach Frank Howell said.

Though Madison Blietz ended the J-Hawks scoring drought in the first quarter with her only field goal at the 4:20 mark, it was Broghammer doing the bulk of the scoring.

Coach Larry Niemeyer noted that Jefferson doesn’t have a lot of size, but three kids have been playing pretty well and he has been using five players quite extensively. He said he  hopes to have standout Taylor Jacobson back after the holidays. She has missed eight games with a high-ankle sprain.  Only eight J-Hawks were suited up against Washington.

Jefferson is off until Jan. 3 when it faces Dubuque Senior. Washington hosts Waterloo West on Tuesday.
