Girls Basketball Headlines
The Lady Crusaders opened the District 7-1A tournament against #3 seed, and defending district champion, Foundation Academy. Coach Matt Wheeler’s ball squad played one of their best game of the season rallying from a 13-point deficit to trim Foundation’s lead to 4 points in the final minutes before losing 36-32.
The Crusaders played strong defensively and took good care of the basketball throughout most of the game, which gave them a chance to pull off the upset late in the game. Natalie Lehenbauer led the Crusaders with 14 points, and Natalie Wilkins added 10. Cecelia Lukas contributed 8 points and was very solid at the point guard position.
Congratulations Coach Wheeler and the Lady Crusaders on a strong finish to the 2008-2009 season.
