Grantsburg girls treat 1000 spectators to a win

Most of the people in the gym for the girls game were there to establish their seating for the boys game. They couldn’t have imagined that the girls game would also be a great one to witness.

The Grantsburg gals had one up their short sleeves as they put together their best performance of the year by dispatching of the Luck Cardinal ladies tonight. The final score escapes me at the moment (why did I throw all those stats away?!?) edit: the final score was 39-34

The game was tied at halftime at 16-16 (why I can remember that and not the final score is beyond me). Then Grantsburg took control after halftime.

Kortney Morrin was not her normal scoring self tonight (she was great defensively again, though), but Haley Larson and Sarah Wald picked her up, both scoring in double digits and giving Grantsburg their second win of the season on their last regular season game. This win puts them in a sixth place tie with Unity in the West Lakeland and moves them to 2-16 on the season. A disappointing season even with the win, but putting that together for the last game must make coach Lisa Mckinley and assistant coach Kelly Olson very proud.

Grantsburg will now face a tough test to open the playoffs travelling to Prescott (14-5, 8-5 in the Middle Border). Prescott finished in fourth place in the Middle Border which is made up of many division 2 schools.

Good luck in the playoffs, ladies!
