The girls were led in scoring by Brooke Hannaford with 18, Kelsey Wood with 14, and Briley Hannaford with 9. Baily Wood had 4, while Katie Folkerts, Ammie Minich, and Kristine Kramer each scored two. Sammy Huss hit a free throw to end the game and the Lady Cat scoring. The girls did a great job attacking the basket and improved on their free-throw shooting, hitting 17 of 27 tries.

For the Boys, the second win of the season came on the heels of three close losses before Christmas, while the girls won their fourth game, a night after losing by just one to Mitchell.

Both teams will next be in action at Bridgeport for a tourney there on January 8th and 9th.
