RTR 73 HBC 59
The Lady Pates came up just short in their first Section 3A matchup of the year Monday, Nov. 29, in Tyler. The Knights’ physical play led them to a 14-point victory over H-BC.
The Patriots were led in scoring by senior Kenadie Fick (24 points, eight rebounds and assists) and sophomore Lanae Elbers (14 points).
Elbers was also able to complete a triple double by adding 10 rebounds to go along with 10 blocked shots.
“Lanae did a great job protecting the paint for us, but we got dominated on the boards,” said coach Dylan Gehrke.
“I liked the way we hustled after the ball all game long. We were on the ground going after every loose ball.”
The Patriots were able to cut the Knights’ lead to single digits on a few occasions throughout the game before falling 73-59.
Olivia Bork (8 points) and Larissa Steinhoff (6 points) also helped out the Patriots on the offensive side of the ball.
Hills- Beaver Creek will host Murray County Central for their home opener next Thursday, Dec. 9.
