Kuemper at Harlan
Harlan 74
Kuemper 52
The Kuemper Knights had a valiant comeback in the first half against Harlan, but the Cyclones had an even bigger second half performance Tuesday night in Harlan.
Early on the Knights would find themselves in a 14-3 rut against the Cyclones and eventually 16-7 at the end of the first quarter. The scoring deficit would be erased by the Knights as they went on a lengthy scoring run of their own. After being down 14-3, Kuemper went 24-11 up until halftime, with five threes made in that period, three from Catherine Mayhall, one from Kora Thomsen, and one from Aubrey Heuton. That big momentum shift gave the Knights the 27-26 lead. Not only did the offense step up, but so did the defense, keeping Harlan to a mere nine points in the second quarter.
The Knights had another slow start in the second half. Harlan utilized the slow start to readjust their offense and put up nearly 30 points in the third quarter. The Cyclones retook the lead and extended it by nearly a mile at 55-37. Kuemper in the fourth quarter was able to get some late shots to fall. They were down 12 with four minutes to spare and had to change their defense to a man-to-man and press, allowing their offense to score a bit better. Despite some late points falling for the Knights, Harlan also found success from the field, putting up 20 points and eventually coming away with the 74-52 victory.
Kuemper Head Coach Tyler Tryon says they kept two of Harlan’s leading scorers to low points in the first half and put up eight three pointers for one of their best played games of the season. The Knights will fall to 4-16 overall on the season and 2-8 in the Hawkeye Ten Conference. Kuemper’s week will finish up with a homestand against conference opponent Shenandoah on Friday, February 4th.

CAM Anita 56
Coon Rapids Bayard 39
Brynn Bass crossed a milestone in her career as a Crusader as Coon Rapids Bayard took on Rolling Valley Conference opponent CAM Anita in a tough match Tuesday night.
The Crusaders came into the contest without one of their starters, Breeley Clayburg, which affected their rebounding potential throughout the game. In the first quarter, it was a close affair between the Crusaders and Cougars as the Cougars were able to escape the quarter with a six-point lead at 17-11. Crusaders Head Coach Kaitlyn McAlister says Miranda McClellen and Jessica Evans did a good job down low of holding off the CAM Anita defense. The Cougar offense started to knock down shots in the second quarter and also amped up the intensity on defense. The Crusaders were left with only seven points as CAM Anita extended their lead by 19 points at 36-18 at halftime.
Coon Rapids Bayard started to play better against the CAM Anita press in the second half. The Crusaders matched the Cougars in points in the third quarter, which didn’t help them get closer to the Cougars lead, extended to 46-28 going into the final eight minutes of the contest. The Crusaders had another close scoring affair in the fourth quarter with the Cougars and after all was said and done, CAM Anita came away with a 56-39 victory after a strong first half performance.
Brynn Bass’ 17-point performance tonight got her past the 1,000-point career mark in her Crusader’s playing career. She also recorded four rebounds and five steals; a team high. Miranda McClellen also had a solid night with eight points, five rebounds, three assists, and a steal. The Crusaders will fall to 10-9 overall on the season and 7-6 in the Rolling Valley Conference.
