It was a very interesting night at Seither Center with a little bit of everything going on. In the end the Lady 'Stangs of Bishop Brossart held off a pesky Bracken County squad for their 22nd win against only six losses. It came on a night of several upsets around the 9th and 10th Region. In the end Bishop Brossart wins 58-48, their second win of the season over the Lady Bears.

The Lady 'Stangs have now won their most games since the 2002-2003 season when they won 29. They are 4-0 in the District and now 9-2 in the 10th Region.

The Lady 'Stangs couldn't buy a basket the first part of the game and found themselves down a stunning 21-10 at one point but they started to put it all together right before the half and battled to a 25-25 tie at intermission.

In the second half they started playing for keeps, especially in the fourth quarter where they thawed the Lady Polar Bears by the tune of 25-14, aided by a Bracken technical foul. The Brossart bench as always was a big lift as the Lady 'Stangs had a 17-4 advantage over the Lady Bears off the bench. They also had a big edge in second chance points 18 to 6 and points off turnovers 19-13. They forced Bracken into 18 turnovers and recorded 15 steals off defense.

Perhaps the biggest area of Brossart dominance though was on the boards as Brossart dominated the Lady Bears 47-28 with an espcially big edge in offensive rebounds 26-10.

While sophomore Sarah Futscher was enjoying her typical double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds, a trio of other players had perhaps their best games of the season. Junior Maria Greis had 13 points hitting 5 of 10 from the floor. She also had 6 rebounds. Junior guard Rachel Hartig also scored 12 hitting 4 of 8 from the floor, 4 of 4 from the line, grabbing 5 rebounds, and collecting 6 steals while playing solid defense. Sophomore Cori Ziegler scored 9 points, had 3 rebounds and 3 assists for the victorious Lady 'Stangs. Brossart played without sophomores Madison Eisenman and Morgan Verst, along with junior Micaela Smith who are nursing minor injuries and will return soon.

The team gets a well deserved break til Wednesday when they take on Highlands for the NKAC Division II Championship. A win by Coach Feldmann's club would secure at least a tie for the crown.

Tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 at Pendleton County the freshmen 37th District Champions take on Montgomery Co. in an attempt to defend their 10th Region freshmen championship of a year ago.

The junior varsity game tonight saw the Lady 'Stangs victorious again beating Bracken County 31-26. Sophomore Alex Roberts and Junior Maddi Kues each had 8 points while Megan Dierig chipped in 5 for the club. :popcorn:

Can anyone say "BANDWAGON"???????????????????

Coach K has his team playing very well after the huge loss to Sticklen! Wouldn't surprise me for them to win the 39th!

A game against Bracken, but the pic is from Campbell County?? Nice work.

Now that's funny!!:lol:

The score is definitely misleading. This game was a good one and was closer than the double digit win indicates. Bracken is doing well considering the loss of Sticklen. They also played this game without another starter, Wills who is a hard-nose, scrappy defensive presence. In this game, Bracken's point guard was plagued with foul trouble, but offense for the Lady Bears is coming around. Sticklen's shoes are big ones to fill, but these girls don't quit I like how hard they work Nice effort for the Lady Bears!

 

Cummins led with 12 points, Conley had 10, Bell-9, C. Jefferson-7, Tarvin-6, B. Woods-4

Good to see Bracken had a good game against Brossart. Cummins has a bright future. Good Luck

Bracken Co and Brossart are going to be very good next year. Bracken Co is playing without Sticklen who graduates and BB has 0 seniors.

Mostly sophomores, right? Bracken will be scary good the next 2 years.

Same can be said for BB. Both teams will battle it out the next few years! Both teams have great coaches!

Brossart will have huge size with those talented freshmen coming in along with everyone back. It will be Brossart's to lose for the next four years. Brossart is playing without two guards also. Morgan Verst and Madison Eisenman both sophomores. Eisenman was All-State at the All-A State Tourney. She should be back Wednesday.

NCC will dominate them the next 2 years. Too much talent. Kiernan too much and will only get better with maturity.

Montgomery Co loses one player from this years team.

Just sayin'.

You guys don't rebuild, you reload.If I had to choose 1 school from the 10th to model a sports program after, I'd probably choose Montgomery. My comment was more geared towards an Class A title.

It will be no cake-walk through to a 10th region Class A title. Give those "pesky" Lady Bears a little credit...I'm sure you were sweatin' a couple times Saturday night. Brossart is and will be good....just hope you're not too tired from all the horn blowin' to enjoy the games. Oh, and my momma used to say, "Pride cometh before a fall" and she was one smart lady.
