Posted in:

HARTINGTON — The Hartington-Newcastle girls basketball team defeated Creighton, then fell to Winnebago last week in the quarterfinals of the Lewis and Clark Conference Tourney.

The Lady Cats put together a 51-46 showing against Creighton Feb. 1, but fell 78-51 to Winnebago Feb. 4.

Winnebago raced out to a huge 23-9 first quarter lead against the Lady Cats, who then spent the rest of the game trying to dig out of the hole.

Hartington-Newcastle bounced back in the second frame, only allowing the Indians to put up 10 points, but only managing nine of their own.

Cold shooting hurt HNS as they only connected on 26 percent of their shots from the field and 56 percent of their shots from the line.
