#13 Lewis Central at Kuemper
Lewis Central 75
Kuemper 42
The Kuemper Knights had a tough time getting shots up against a tough #13 Lewis Central squad Friday night.
Both teams entered the game with winning streaks on the line, with Kuemper winners of three straight including a road win over #15 Harlan and Lewis Central were winners of six in a row. The first quarter showed why Lewis Central is second in the conference as they got out quickly with a 21-10 lead over Kuemper. The Titans came out in a full court press and weren’t afraid to tie up the Knights any chance they got. Kuemper had a better second quarter performance with Elsa Tiefenthaler getting some offense generated. Frannie Glynn appeared to bring the aggressiveness underneath the basket, but that still wasn’t enough to get Kuemper ahead in this game. They trailed Lewis Central 35-23 at halftime.
The Titans came back from the break with the same trap defense mentality that worked to their advantage again. They were able to rely on Lucy Scott’s ability to shoot the three-pointer as she came away with five three pointers and 28 points and Brooke Larsen to get to the basket for layups. Catherine Mayhall tried to get the team back on track, but their attempts were thwarted. Lewis Central led 54-28 heading into the fourth quarter. The Titans backed off their full court press, but still had their productive offense to bring them to a 75-43 win.
Mayhall and Tifenthaler both ended up leading the team in scoring with 10 and 11 points respectively while Glynn led the team with 11 rebounds. The Knights are now 10-8 overall on the season and 5-4 in the Hawkeye 10. They are back on their home court on Tuesday, January 31st as they host Harlan.

East Sac at Sioux Central
Sioux Central 71
East Sac 42
The East Sac Raiders had their hands full Friday night as they took on one of the top teams in the Twin Lakes Conference, Sioux Central.
Sioux Central coming into this game had won five straight, including wins against two top 15 teams in Pocahontas Area and South Central Calhoun while East Sac won two of their last five games against Woodbury Central and Alta-Aurelia. Both teams seemed to be evenly matched in the first quarter as Sioux Central was ahead by one point at 17-16. That small lead then exploded into 14 when the Rebels got their offense going in the second quarter. East Sac had little answers from their offense as they had eight points and tried 38-24 at halftime. Mary Bontrager normally leads the Raiders in scoring, but this time around it was Makenna Steiger who led the offense.
The Rebels weren’t done putting up 20+ points as they exceeded their second quarter performance with a 22-point display in the third quarter. East Sac again saw some troubles on their offensive end with only 10 points added to their score as they trailed 60-34 going into the fourth quarter. Sioux Central bided their time as they were able to run out the clock and come away with the 71-42 win over East Sac.
Steiger in this game led the Raiders with 19 points. Bontrager still had a nice game with seven points, three rebounds, and two steals. Kendall Quirk and Addisen Ehler led the team with seven rebounds. The loss drops the Raiders to 4-13 overall on the season and 2-7 in the Twin Lakes Conference.
