Girls Basketball Results Friday, January 28th
Newell Fonda At South Central Calhoun
Lewis Central 48
Kuemper 32
The Kuemper Knights were able to get ahead by two points over a strong Lewis Central team Friday night, but the Titans got right back in the game going into the second half.
The Knights got off to a fairly good start in the first quarter, keeping pace with a Lewis Central team running a 2-3 zone defense. Aubrey Heuton got the Knight’s offense started well with a field goal and a three pointer, leading the team in the first quarter with five points. The Titans climbed their way to a four-point lead at 13-9 with a few moments left in the quarter, until Kora Thomsen drained a three pointer to cut down the Titan lead to 13-12 with a few seconds left in the quarter. Thomsen played an important role in the second quarter as both teams struggled to get points on the board. The Titans kept the Knight’s shooting options limited but were unable to convert a strong defense with points on the other end. The Titans had a game-low two points in the second quarter, and Kuemper only escaped with five points. The biggest moment from that quarter was Thomsen, once again, draining a three pointer with a few seconds left to give the Knights a two-point lead at 17-15 at halftime. Thomsen led the team after draining that three with six points to her name in the first half.
The Titans returned from the halftime break with revenge on their minds as they came out and shot lights out. The Titans were attacking the high post well in the third quarter and the Knights had little answers defensively. Led by Elise Thramer, the Titans went off for 22 points in the third quarter, capped off by Ashlee McKenzie being fouled at the buzzer as she drained a three pointer from the corner and made the ensuing free throw for a four-point play to end the quarter. The Titans roared back to lead 37-21 going into the fourth quarter. The Knights did a much better job of attacking the basket in the fourth quarter, getting Catherine Mayhall chances to score baskets inside the paint. With the spread-out defense Lewis Central was running, Mayhall was able to slip around and find ways to draw in the Titan defense to get one of her girls open for a shot outside the arc, but she finally found ways to score inside the paint. Mayhall led the Knights with nine points in the fourth quarter, but that was not enough to pull off a late game comeback. The Titans matched the Knights with 11 points in the fourth quarter, giving them the 48-32 victory.
The Knights will fall to 4-14 overall on the season and 2-8 in the Hawkeye Ten Conference. They will finish up their week of competition as they are at home on Saturday, January 29th to take on Sioux City North.
