The Sacred Heart Lady Knight basketball team stirred up things in the NCAA girls’ basketball standings this past week when the Lady Knights handed the Ellsworth Lady Bearcats their first NCAA loss of the season, as there are no NCAA girls teams still with unblemished NCAA marks at this point in the season.
The Southeast of Saline Trojan boys, however, continued their march to perfection with a non-league victory over Clay Center this past week to earn their 8th win of the season, against no losses.
Here is a look at what each of the six NCAA schools’ respective teams did in the action in the past week :
BELOIT
The Beloit basketball teams split a pair of doubleheader this past week, each night watching their girls’ team fall in the openers but the Trojan boys were able to bounce back to salvage splits in the nightcaps. Tuesday night the split was against Chapman, as the Lady Trojans lost the opener 49-28, but the Trojan boys came back to win the nightcap 70-27. Friday night Beloit split an NCAA doubleheader against Minneapolis, with the Lady Trojans falling 43-41 but the Trojan boys salvaged the split with a 75-31 victory. … The Trojan wrestling team returned to the mats in Marysville on Saturday where they scored 59 points to finish in 9th place as a team.
ELLSWORTH
Ellsworth High School’s basketball teams had this past Tuesday night off before splitting an NCAA doubleheader against Sacred Heart on Friday night. Friday the Lady Bearcats lost their first NCAA game of the season, falling 48-28 against Sacred Heart while the Bearcat boys were able to bounce back and salvage a split in the doubleheader, winning the nightcap 50-46. … The Bearcat boys wrestlers competed in Hoisington on Saturday, where they scored 9 points to finish in 22nd place. The Lady Bearcat wrestlers, meanwhile, traveled to Hays on Saturday where they finished in 20th place with 6 points.
MINNEAPOLIS
The Minneapolis basketball teams had a .500 week last week, splitting a pair of doubleheaders. Tuesday night the Lions and Lady Lions split with Valley Heights as the Lady Lions won the opener 42-41 but the Lion boys were unable to secure the sweep as they lost in the nightcap 52-49 in overtime. Friday night Minneapolis split with Beloit in an NCAA doubleheader as the Lady Lions won the opener 43-41 but the Lion boys fell in the nightcap 75-31. … The Lion wrestlers hit the mats to open their week on Thursday night when they scored a 57-18 dual victory over Riley County.
