Lady Eagles Face Tough Opponents
In Cedar Catholic And Elkhorn Valley

After a strong beginning to their new basketball season, it seems the Eagle girls have begun to fumble. 

Last Tuesday the girls hosted Battle Creek and took their first loss. The Eagles got stomped the first half of the game, falling 39-18.

It would take a miracle to turn the game around. The Eagles kicked the game into high-gear, first taking a 10-point tie in the third quarter. The finale the girls gave it their all but when the clock reached zero they still were faced with defeat.

Taylor Young scored 10 points, three rebounds and one steal; Olivia Young had seven points, three rebounds and one steal; Mariah Kallhoff six points, three rebounds and one steal; Rylee Selby six points and two steals; Hannah Hilker five points, five rebounds and four steals; Bergyn Classen three points, six rebounds and one steal; Ashley Sidak two points, three rebounds and one steal and Mady Heiss one point.

Two days later, on Thursday, same as the boys, the girls traveled to Tilden to face the Elkhorn Valley Falcons.

Another rough start to this match spelled doom for the Eagles. By halftime, the girls were down 39-26.

A fruitless third quarter passes and the Eagles managed a 13-point stalemate to end the match 65-47.

Hilker led the team with 15 points, one rebound and two steals; T. Young had eight points, five rebounds and two steals; Selby eight points, two rebounds and two steals; Classen six points and eight rebounds; Heiss four points, two rebounds and one steal; O. Young four points and two rebounds; Sidak  one point, one rebound and one steal; Serena Chavez one point and Kallhoff four rebounds and one steal.

The following day the girls had one last chance to smooth things out when they challenged Cedar Catholic.

Once again the game started in the Trojan's favor, putting up 27 in the first half, while holding the Eagles to just 15.

Quarter three the Eagles gave it all they had and snuck in a four-point win. By the end, however, things reset and the Trojans easily took home the gold 52-38.

The Eagles tanked their record for the season down to 1-3.

Hilker again went on the offensive with 12 points, three rebounds and four steals; T. Young had five points, four rebounds and two steals; Heiss four points and one rebound; Chavez four points and three steals; Classen three points, five rebounds and two steals; Sidak three points, three rebounds and one steal; O. Young three points and two rebounds; Kallhoff two points, two rebounds and one steal and Selby two points and one rebound.
