In other stats, Justin Archer and Alan Rietmann led the way with four assists each while Paul Hams and Clay Morter each grabbed three steals. “ 1 thought we did a good job o f adjusting to Nixyaawii trying to slow the game down,” said Coach Dennis Stefani. “The kids did a great job o f changing the tempo and were able to open the game up.” On S aturday, the Cardinals faced a team that looked re m a rk a b ly like themselves, playing Sher man in Moro. The first q u a rte r was a track meet with both teams getting up and down the floor fast. Kip Krebs dum ped in the first four points of the game and Paul Hams capitalized on a steal to score on a full court lay in. Sherman County then ran off' six straight points to tie the game and the teams swapped scores for the re mainder of the quarter.

Paul Hams’ reverse lay in at the buzzer made the score 15 all at the end of one. In the second quar ter, Sherman struck first, hitting a three pointer early on.

The C ards let the Huskies open up an eight point lead in the third quar ter, 41-33, but went on a 10-3 run to close the quarter trailing by one, 44-43. It w as more of the same in the fourth. The Huskies worked up a three point lead which was answered by Justin Ar cher hitting a shot and Matt Hams making successive buckets, one a three pointer for the Cardinals to take a four point lead. With 2:01 on the clock, Kip Krebs put back an offensive rebound to tie the score at 53 and seconds later, Paul Hams made the first shot of a one and one to put the Cards up 54-53. But from that point on, lone could not get their shots to fall and Sherman connected on five of six free throw attempts to take the game 58-54. Paul Hams led the team in scoring with 14 fol lowed by Matt Hams with 13 and Kip Krebs with 11. The Cards shot 33% from the field but a key differ ence was at the free throw line.

Lady Cardinals drop two games The lone Lady Car dinals lost two games this w eekend but m ade both games competitive. lone fell to league-leading Nixyaawii on Friday and lost narrowly to Sherman County on Sat urday. For the first half on January 18, the Lady Car dinals gave Nixyaawii all they could handle. Trailing 8-1, Em ily Rietm ann hit the first basket for lone to narrow the gap to five. The Golden Eagles made a pair o f free throws before fresh man, Beth M orter, made six straight points to cut the Nixyaawii lead to one. Nix hit a basket near the end of the quarter to end the period leading 12-9. In the second quar ter, the Lady Cards got close but could never quite take the lead. K ylee S vetich made a hook shot midway through ffie q u arter and when Emily Rietmann hit a basket shortly afterwards, the Lady Cards trailed by just one, 18-17. The Golden Eagles responded with a three pointer and another basket. Kaylee Palm ateer hit a three pointer to nar row the m argin back to three. Nix scored but lone responded when Kylee Svet ich hit the front half o f a one and one and then moments later, hit a basket, assisted by Briana Peterson. Again Nix answered with a three and when Emily Rietmann made a shot with less than a minute to go, the Lady Cards trailed by that familiar margin o f three, 28-25 at the half. The th ird q u arter started well when Emily Ri etmann hit two free throws to cut N ix ’s lead to ju st 28-27. But after that it was all Golden Eagles. Outscor- ing the Lady Cards 18-5 in the quarter, Nix prevented lone from hitting a field goal until the waning moments o f the third quarter when Brenna Rietmann found the basket. Nixyaawii’s pressure defense continued to stymie the Lady Cards in the fourth as they were outscored 17-6, leading to the final margin o f 63-36. “ We played really good basketball in the first half,” said Coach Ryan Ru dolf “but had a tough third quarter. A three point game quickly became a 20 point gam e.” He noted that the team had “too many turn overs in the third quarter,” and the shots that the team made in the first half just w eren ’t there in the sec ond. Emily Rietmann led the team in scoring with nine points. Beth Morter added six and Kylee Svetich had five. Nine Lady Cardinals tallied points in the con test. Traveling to Sher man County on Saturday, the Lady Cards expected a tough and physical outing, lone scored first on a shot by Kylee Svetich with a minute gone. Thirty seconds later, Beth Morter made a basket and lone led 4-0. Sherman County then came to life and outscored lone 10-3 to lead 10-7 at the end o f quarter one. A cold second quarter where all the points came at the free throw line caused lone to trail 18-11 at the half. T ia n a C a m a rillo went on a scoring spree in the third quarter, scoring eight of the team’s 10 points. The Lady Cards 6-0 run to start the quarter enabled them to close the gap to 18-17. The Huskies would stretch the lead back out but with 55 seconds to go in the quarter, Tiana Camarillo once again narrow ed the lead to three, 24-21. Sher man scored three points to close the quarter and take a 27-21 lead into the fourth. lone chipped away at Sherm an’s lead in the final period. After an early Husky score, Kylee Svet ich took a nice pass from Tiana Camarillo for a lay in to make the score 29-23. Beth Morter scored on an inbounds pass and then later, Tiana Camarillo hit another shot to close the gap to just 29-27. Sherman put back an offensive rebound before Beth M orter hit two free throws. With 3:19 remaining in the game, lone trailed by just two points but that is as close as they would get. Sherman scored twice more before the Lady Cards were forced to foul sending the Huskies to the line 11 times in the last two m inutes, cashing in on nine o f those. C oincidentally, nine was the final margin o f victory, 43-34 in favor o f Sherman County. Tiana Camarillo led the team in scoring with 10. Emily Rietmann had nine, Kylee Svetich had eight and Beth Morter had seven. “We did some good things this weekend,” said Coach Ryan Rudolf. “ We played some com petitive basketball against two o f the best teams in the league.” He commended the team for a strong third quarter against Sherman but noted that the shots just didn’t fall for the Lady Cardinals at the end of the game. “Sherman made their free throws when they give WOW. teleflora's tulips of love bouquet 9:30a.m. - 10:30a.m. Camelina as a possible crop rotation for bio-fuel.
