2A Girls Substate first round in Salina

Rep County.....7..15...5..24..5...56
Sacred Heart..20..10...7..14..11..62 ot

RC: Shoemaker 3, Cromwell 6, Wollenberg 2, Hadachek 12, Duensing 7, Beneda 14, Cottonmyre 2, Jones 10

The Lady Buffs finish their season in heartbreaking fashion, falling to league-rival Sacred Heart. The fourth quarter scoring says a lot about the way these girls fought, and had a chance to win in the final 30 seconds, but couldn't get off a clean shot. RC finishes 8-13 on the year, and will return all but 3 graduating seniors. Danielle Cromwell, Jessica Wollenberg and Hillary Woods will be greatly missed next year.

The Pike Valley girls forced 29 Elwood turnovers, and turned most of those into transition baskets, and cruise into the Substate Championship game Saturday vs Frankfort.

Great intensity from the guys right out of the locker put the young Lions in their place. The Buffs play Sacred Heart for the 3rd straight year in substate. The Buffs won a semifinal match up 2 years ago in Phillipsburg, while the Knights won in Norton in 2008 in the championship game.
