The only thing that wasn’t working at Linn-Mar Tuesday night was the public address system and the foul board.

The Linn-Mar offense was hitting on all cylinders. The Lions routed Waterloo East, 80-15, in a Mississippi Valley Conference girls basketball fgame.

No. 2 Linn-Mar (16-1, 11-1 MVC) built a 51-9 lead by halftime.

On paper this looked like it would be a mismatch with the best team in the Mississippi Division taking on the weakest in the Valley Division.

Linn-Mar Coach Mike Brandt was happy afterward, even with this easy victory compared to a major win Saturday over Class 3A No. 1 Ballard.

“I was pleased we picked up our defense tonight,” Brandt said. "We played our game, which I was hoping for, and executed well all night long.”

All-American Kiah Stokes scored 30 points to lead the Lions.

Linn-Mar streaked to a 19-0 lead.

Ten Lions scored. Shanice Cheatham had 10 points and Mykaela Brandt  nine.

Linn-Mar won the sophomore game, 85-11.
