FREDONIA — Humboldt High’s girls served up one of their best efforts of the season, their head coach said Tuesday.
But a second-quarter breakdown proved too much to overcome for the Lady Cubs, who dropped a 64-51 decision to host Fredonia
“The Lady Cubs played their hearts out tonight,” head coach Sherri Nelson said. “Other than the second quarter, I couldn’t be more excited in the direction we’re moving.”
Fredonia’s 25-12 run in the second quarter gave the Yellowjackets a 38-23 lead at intermission.
The Lady Cubs pulled to within seven with 1:39 remaining, but missed a pair of free throws that would have pulled them closer.
“We had to foul, which didn’t go in our favor,” Nelson said.
Lakota Wilson scored 17 points and had two steals to pace Humboldt. Tilar Wells followed with 10 points, a rebound and two assists. Delaney Umholtz chipped in with five points and two steals. Makaylah McCall had four points, as did Kayle Riebel. Riebel also had four rebounds. Cheyenne English had four points and three rebounds, Anna Whitcomb had four points, seven rebounds and five steals. Morgan Morris had six rebounds to go with two points.
