For two quarters of play against Harrisburg, the Lady Lynx matched wits with one of Class AA’s best last week. The Tigers, one of three undefeated AA teams, opened and closed with strong performances to hand Brandon Valley a 68-53 loss.
Brandon Valley took down defending state champion Rapid City Stevens and went 4-0 against some of Class A’s top high school wrestling programs at the East-West Duals Jan. 25 in Pierre.
A three-game week took its toll on the Lady Lynx Saturday, as Sioux Falls Lincoln (7-2) posted a 68-53 win. Brandon Valley kept pace with the Patriots through the majority of the first half until the Pats pulled away in the third and fourth quarters.
It came down to bonus points, and Brandon Valley fell short by a mere two points in a heads-up home dual Jan. 21 against a well-rehearsed the Pierre Governors squad.
The Lady Lynx evened their season mark to 4-4 behind the firepower of freshman Hilary Behrens’ 30-point production in Thursday’s 58-46 road win at Watertown.
Watertown canned seven 3-pointers in the third quarter Thursday while the Lynx boys dropped five in all total, which led the Arrows to a 66-58 Eastern South Dakota Conference victory.
