Kora Thomsen shined on senior night as the Knights only senior came out firing, hitting a pair of 3’s, scoring 8 points early as Kuemper led 21-13 after the 1st quarter. Every time Shenandoah made a run the Knights found an answer. It was a different player coming through as well. Karsyn Overmohle nailed a 3 late in the 2nd quarter, after the Fillies had tied the game. Catherine Mayhall extended the Kuemper lead to 33-26 at half with a steal and layup right at the buzzer. Mayhall along with Thomsen carried the Kuemper offense early. Mayhall scored all 10 of her points in the 1st half but kept making a huge impact on the game in other ways. She picked up several nice assists in the 2nd half and also had a key steal late in the game. Shenandoah made another run in the 3rd, tying the game, but again Kuemper responded with a run, extending the lead to 7. Aubrey Heuton made have had a coming out party. She was outstanding on both sides of the floor and came up with several clutch baskets and steals. Her offensive rebound and put back while being fouled kept Kuemper in control in the 2nd half. The Fillies cut into Kuemper’s lead in the 3rd, trailing 47-43 heading into the final stanza, but Kuemper kept making plays. Akuet Malek battled foul trouble early but was a force around the rim in the 2nd half, scoring all 8 of her points after half. Frannie Glynn also battled foul trouble but had a good night on the boards. Lauren Boell added a clutch 3 in the 1st half to stave off a Fillies run.
The win snaps a 5 game losing streak, giving Kuemper some confidence heading into the postseason. They improve to 5-16 overall and 3-8 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference. They will host SW Valley Saturday in the postseason.

East Sac At SE Valley
East Sac 61
Southeast Valley 58 (OT)
The East Sac Raiders came back from a 40-25 deficit at halftime against Southeast Valley to eventually force overtime and win it with a pair of free throws Friday night.
The Raiders were caught off guard a bit from Southeast Valley as they prepared for Kenna Scott to score a lot, but not other players that made an impact. Scott did get the Jaguars off to a good start offensively, scoring 10 of their 16 first quarter points, while East Sac struggled a bit with turnovers. Their passing game was offset with overthrown passes and steals by Scott and Southeast Valley. While Jen Aschinger and Mary Bontrager both put up three pointers, the Jaguars got up 16-8 heading into the second quarter. East Sac ran a 2-3 zone defense in the first half that Southeast Valley was able to get past and score often underneath the basket. Madison Lane sank two three pointers, Alex Kitchen gave the Jaguars options underneath and scored six points, and Breck Mills was a surprise shooter as those three players led Southeast Valley to a 26 point second quarter and a 40-25 lead at halftime. East Sac did find much better success offensively in the second quarter with Makenna Steiger draining two three pointers and Bontrager picking up the intensity and putting down six points, but the Raiders’ defense didn’t have any answers for the Jaguar offensive attacks.
The start of the second half was a complete 180 for both teams. Southeast Valley struggled to get shots to fall, scoring a mere two points thanks to a Breck Mills bucket, while East Sac took the chance to make up for lost opportunities. Bontrager took the lead in the third quarter by putting down seven points to recharge the offense. East Sac was able to cut down the 15 point Jaguar lead down to a seven point 42-35 lead going into the fourth quarter. Just like the last quarter, Bontrager was the biggest offensive threat to Southeast Valley as she put her team on her back. In the fourth quarter alone, she tied the game at 42, 46, 52, and eventually got a bucket to go to tie the game one last time at 54 points with a pair of free throws. Scott for the Jaguars drove down the court with 6.4 second left to play and a chance to win it, but was unable to do so, forcing the game to overtime.
The overtime period was just as much a battle as the rest of the fourth quarter was. Bontrager started the offense with a free throw, giving East Sac the lead at 55-54 and a bucket to take back the lead at 57-56. Southeast Valley continued to attack the basket as well as they could, at one point they got Kitchen underneath for a bucket late in the period. The final nail in the coffin was Aleisha Thayer coming up clutch with a steal and while in the double bonus already, was fouled to bring her to the free throw line. She drained both to give East Sac a three point, 61-58 lead with mere seconds left. Southeast Valley drove down the court quickly, but were unable to drive home the three pointer to tie it again, giving East Sac a close victory on the road.
Individually for the Raiders, Bontrager led the team offensively with 29 points while Meredith Brown aided near the basket with 12 rebounds. Carly Fischer also had a solid night with 13 points, four rebounds, four assists, and a steal. Jen Ashcinger was aggressive on the defensive end, recording a team high four steals. The Raiders will improve to 5-14 overall on the season and 2-9 in the Twin Lakes Conference. They will close out the regular season with another conference game on Tuesday, February 8th against South Central Calhoun on the road.
