After breezing through the NVC Conference, the St. Mary's Lady Cardinals moved back into regular play against two other schools last week. The first of their games the girls faced Boyd County in a rematch from Feb. 1 where the Cardinals took the win. This match was much the same as the two team's earlier encounter. The Cards pulled ahead early on with a 21-11 starter. A further 17-11 put them on track for a quick victory. The latter half of the match was a near repeat of the beginning. The Cards kept the pressure strong and walked away with an easy 74-43 win over Boyd County. Pyper Ickes scored big for the team with 24 points, five rebounds and four steals; Annabelle Barlow had 16 points, five rebounds and six steals; Adyson Peterson had 12 points, four rebounds and five steals; Emerson Mlnarik 11 points, 11 rebounds and four steals and Gracie Williamson 11 points, five rebounds and one steal. SMH 21 17 19 17 74 BCHS 11 11 10 11 50 One short day passed, and on Thursday, Feb. 13, the Cardinals hosted a tough 15-6 West Holt Husky team. The match started slow, but the Huskies did manage to claim the first half 18-17. Down by just one point, the Cardinals were essentially neck-and-neck with the Huskies. In the third quarter, the Huskies managed to move ahead by one more point. The Cards were in a tough spot moving into the finale, but they did have one last chance. In the end, however, the Huskies sunk some solid hoops and ended the match 42-32. Ickes remained the MVP with 12 points and two steals; Peterson had nine points and three steals; Barlow five points, five rebounds and two steals; Williamson three points, four rebounds and one steal; Emerson Mlnarik two points, five rebounds and two steals and Lily Bauer one point. SMH 5 12 8 7 32 WHHS 7 11 9 15 42 This game marks the end of the Cardinal's long-running 15 win-streak.
