Friday was a huge test for the South Winn girls’ basketball team (4-7, 3-6 UIC) who traveled to Lansing for a big Upper Iowa Conference match-up against Kee (8-4, 7-2 UIC). Despite a solid showing, the Hawks took care of South Winn 49-32.
South Winn fell behind early, allowing the Hawks to double them up 14-7 in the first period. Kee’s defense gave up just two points to the Warriors in the second quarter to carry a 24-9 lead into the break. Both offenses were firing on all cylinders in the third with a combined 32 points being scored. Starting the fourth with a score of 39-25 in favor of the Hawks was as close as the game would get before Kee pulled away.
“We played a very good Kee High team that is one of the best teams in the conference. I thought our girls competed the whole game. We did a great job of team rebounding and we also did a good job limiting our turnovers,” said coach Mike Gehling. “Our girls are doing a lot of good things; it just hasn’t always shown in the score but I have been proud of their improvement this year. We are going to keep working hard and I’m hoping the results will show in the next games.”
Vanessa Bullerman scored nine points to lead the way for the Warriors, while Charlotte Moonen put up six. Ella Theis added four with Karissa Wenthold, Allison Hageman and Chloe Wiltgen all contributing three. Wiltgen led the defense with four steals to go with her points and three rebounds as well.
