Lady Bobcats headed to conference consolation matchup

The Summerland Lady Bobcats will meet Boyd County in the consolation game in the Niobrara Valley Conference tournament, Saturday. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m., at Atkinson-West Holt.

Thursday, CWC tripped up the Cats, 41-31, in the semi-final game in Niobrara.

Head Coach Greg Appleby said the game was a tough loss against a very good CWC team.

"We played well enough defensively to be in the game, but our offensive was not efficient or productive enough across the board."

Summerland's defense allowed only two Renegades' players to score in the game.

"We held them to a low percentage, didn't let their press affect us, and held our own on the boards, but when you can't put the ball in the basket, it is a tough game. We need to be better offensively of playing off of each other, moving without the ball and making better basketball decisions," Appleby said.

Sidney Stallbaum led Summerland with 10 points. Tiana Thramer chipped in seven.
