Farmington's shooting was a cold as the windchill factor Friday night in a 49-34 Missota Conference loss at New Prague.
The Tigers made just three of 31 (9.6 percent) first half shots and and finished with a season-low 12 points to trail by 10 at intermission.
"They were all good shots," Farmington coach Sondra Chadwick said, "but nothing was falling."
If the cold shooting wasn't enough to put a damper on the trip to New Prague, turnovers and foul trouble were.
"We turned the ball over 20 times and they had 19 free throws in the second half alone," Chadwick said.
The visitors did find the basket better after the break, hitting eight of 21 shots, but it wasn't nearly enough to slow the Trojans.
Taylor Meyer and Isis Alexander accounted for almost all of the Tiger offense with 14 and 12 points respectively. Point guard Sophia Chadwick, the team's second-leading scorer, missed the game because of the flu.
"I was pleased with our rebounding," coach Chadwick said, "especially Taylor Meyer, Allie Rice and Dava White."
Meyer pulled down a team-high nine rebounds and Alexander led in steals with four.
The Tigers find out this week who their first round opponent will be in next Wednesday's opening round game in the Section 1AA tournament.
"I am hoping we stay healthy and are able to go with a full squad," Chadwick said.
