HARTINGTON - The pressure could not have gotten any more intense last week for Jason Folkers’ debut as the new Cedar Catholic girls basketball coach.
Folkers took the helm this season from Terry Kathol, the school’s all-time wirmingest basketball coach.
The opening-season home stand featured two state rated teams on the Msgr. Werner Activ-ity Center floor to take on the 2009 Class C2 State runner-up Lady Trojans.
Thursday’s season-opener here lived up to its billing as a heavyweight title bout.
The top two rated Class C2 teams in the state battled toe-totoe in Thursday’s season-opener.
Second-ranked Cedar Catholic ended up dropping the non-conference contest 47-41 to top-rated Crofton in a nail biter to spoil Folkers’ coaching debut at Cedar.
The Lady Warriors completely shut down Cedar’s inside game and last year’s team MVP Dana Dickes to control the game.
