Lady Bears post a 1-2 Holiday Tny. mark

WAYNE — The Laurel-Concord-Coleridge Lady Bears were able to get a win on the final day of the Great Northeast Nebraska Shootout last week in Wayne to come home with a seventh-place finish.

The Lady Bears opened play Monday with a 40-33 loss to Pierce, as the Lady Jays got out to an 18-3 first-quarter lead and kept the Lady Bears from mounting any kind of comeback.

Kinsey Hall paced the Lady Bears with 12 points, followed by Reggan Kuhlman with eight. Also scoring were Erica Wolfgram with seven and Mallory Eriksen with six.

In consolation action Wednesday, Hartington Cedar Catholic built an 11-point halftime advantage and came away with a 40-23 win over the Lady Bears.

Hall led a balanced effort with eight points while Wolfgram and Haley Christensen each had six. Mollie Schutte added two points and Eriksen tossed in a free throw.

In the game for seventh-place on Thursday, the Lady Bears overcame a slow start to post a 45-34 win over Homer.

The Lady Knights led 9-2 after one period, but LCC turned up the pressure defensively and turned things around, outscoring Homer 16-4 in the second period and carrying that momentum into the second half for the win.

Hall had 14 points and Eriksen added 11 to lead LCC. Also scoring were Jordynn Urwiler with six, Kuhlman and Delaney Johnson both had five, Wolfgram had three and Christensen had one.

The LCC girls play at Hartington Cedar Catholic on Thursday before returning home for games with Winnebago Friday and Wayne on Tuesday.
