to battle but made enough plays to
come up with the 61-55 win. Trailing by
one, 26-25 at halftime the Lightning built up enough off a cushion and took
care of business in the second half to come up with the 6 point win in the
semifinals of section 3 play. Brittnye McSparron led the Lightning with
22 points overcoming a box and 1 defense by Apple Valley and all the extra
attention that defense brings. Danae
Moore added 13 points and Sam
The 9A Boys Basketball team improved their overall record to 25-7 and
13-5 in the Lake Conference by defeating Nicollet Jr. High Friday 57-46.

victory. The Lightning controlled the boards all day. Not only did
the big men do their job on the glass, but the guards did an awesome job
too. Leading the way in scoring was Lethzee Calderon with 20, and Ryan
Osgar with 9. Next up for the Lightning is Lakeville South at home on
Tuesday.
