RENO — It was a double loss for an already short-handed Carson High girls basketball team.
Bishop Manogue played all 16 of its players and cruised to a 67-46 win over the Senators, who lost Bella Kordonowy to a significant knee injury in the first half.
The extent of Kordonowy’s injury isn’t known. She left the Primm Family Gymnasium on crutches Friday night. Carson played with just seven players in the second half, as Lauren Lemburg sat out her second consecutive game with an illness.
“The first four minutes we were intimidated because of Manogue,” Carson coach Melissa Larsen said. “After that we started to play basketball. I thought Haley (Garver) played well. She did a good job of attacking the basket.”
Garver finished with 14 followed by Lily Bouza with 12 and Abbey Paulson with 11.
Manogue took control early, scoring eight straight to open the game and finishing the opening quarter with eight straight en route to a 19-4 lead.
Manogue extended the lead to 35-15 at halftime. Kenna Holt had 13 of her game-high 21 in the opening 16 minutes. Manogue coach Craig Holt played his roster liberally throughout the game.

Carr scored 13 points and Campbell 10 to lead Douglas offensively. They scored back-to-back field goals early in the third quarter and Taylynn Kizer followed with a 3-pointer to ignite a 9-0 run that put the Tigers in control of the game.
Alexus Hunter scored 14 points to lead Damonte Ranch.
Fernley 54, Dayton 15
FERNLEY — The Vaqueros rolled to a 35-6 halftime lead en route to a 54-15 win in a 3A game.
The Dust Devils were 6-for-34 from the floor and had trouble avoiding turnovers.
“We came apart at the seams and made too many turnovers,” said Dayton coach Kelly Frantz. “I felt the girls were too timid from the start and not making quick decisions.
“I thought some of my girls stepped up and we were able to get some great looks on the offensive end, but when the shots don’t drop, it’s hard to gain any momentum.”
Abby Sikora led Dayton with six points and four rebounds and Cassie Dickenson had six rebounds and a blocked shot. Faith Reid scored four points.
