January 14, 2015 Leave a comment
The Lady Cougars won two more games this past week and brought their season’s record to 8-4. They defeated Wakefield in a road game by the score of 34-31. They protected their home court with a 53-38 in over Mead. LDNE is 5-0 at home. Northeast did suffer a 48-43 loss at Tekamah on Friday.
The Tuesday mat was a low scoring affair as both teams had only five point after the first eight minutes. The Cougars surged to an eight point lead at half, but faltered after intermission as the (3-10) Trojan closed to 22-20. A twelve point fourth quarter protected the lead.
Brianne Haskell led the team with 10 points. Lexie Bacon and Kelly Wakeley each added nine points.

Coach Haskell lamented poor shooting after the loss to Tekamah-Herman on Friday. “If some of our shots would have dropped in the first period this would have been a different game. We had to play catch up the rest of the way. One thing I admire about these girls is that that don’t give up. They fought to the end.”
After trailing by twelve, 39-27, the Cougars had a big fourth period and pulled to within five at the buzzer.
Brianne Haskell put in 20 points for the Cougars. Lexie Bacon added 11. Darcey Simonsen also scored 11 before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
The (7-5) Tigers got 24 points from Jessica Fleischman. This was the second game the Cougars were without Mariah Jessen who sprained an ankle on Monday. “We missed her plugging up the middle,” said Coach Haskell. “I’m sure she could have a difference.”
