Dec. 22—MANDAN — The Jamestown High School girls basketball team shot the ball 42 times in Mandan.

About 36% of the shots landed.

Jamestown's 15-for-42 shooting performance landed them three points short of a win Monday night. The Blue Jays dropped 52-50 to Mandan. The loss puts Jamestown's record at 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the WDA standings.

Head coach Andy Skunberg and company will be back in action after the New Year. Jamestown is slated to travel to Bismarck St. Mary's on Jan. 2. Game time is set for 6 p.m.

Senior Mea Ulland and freshman Macey Neumiller were the Jays' leading scorers against the Braves, each notching 13 points. Ulland was 4-for-8 from 3-point range while Neumiller hit three shots from deep.

Lucy Falk was perfect at the foul line, going 4-for-4 en route to eight points for the night. Haley Attleson and Adisyn Yunck both put six points on the books. Attleson's younger sister, Hannah, controlled the boards with 16 total rebounds.

Tim Ranum was left slightly frustrated on Monday night.

"We played really well for the last six minutes of the first half to take the lead into half," said Ranum, the head coach for the Jamestown High School boy's basketball team. "We just got punched in the mouth the start of the second half and fell behind.

"We had another stretch where we cut the lead, but we just couldn't get to the next level," he said. "It is a frustrating loss against a good team, but we also have some things to build on going forward."

Ranum and the Jays dropped 83-67 to Mandan to fall to 0-2 in the WDA standings. Jamestown's next test is slated to come in 2026 on Jan. 2 at Bismarck St. Mary's.

Edison Walters led the Jays in total scoring with 29 points while Eric Van Berkom proved able to string together 14 points. Gradin Thorlakson was responsible for eight points scored while Abel Dolokelen put seven on the books.

Mandan was led by Carson Shimek and Brylee Bearstail who combined for 39 points.
