Midseason Report "AA" Girls Basketball

Wow! Where does the time go? It's hard to believe that we are at the halfway point of the high school basketball season. Let's take a look at the teams I think have a chance to cut down the nets at Frost Arena on March 10th, 2012.

(records are good through 1/13/12)

Mitchell Kernels (9-1)  This team was playing well without Macy Miller in the lineup and now with her back it makes this team even more dangerous. Look out for the Kernels come March.

Washington Warriors (6-2) This young team is playing really well right now and only going to get better as the season moves along. Don't count out a Nate Malchow coached team come March.

Brandon Valley Lynxs (7-1) The reigning champs are back and looking to repeat! With Heidi Hoff  (25 ppg) and Allison Koehn (10 ppg) leading the way the Lynxs are well on their way to a repeat performance.

Aberdeen Central Eagles (7-1) The Eagles are riding a 7 game winning streak after losing to the Lynxs the first game of the season. 5 of those wins coming on the road. They are holding their opponents to 39 points per game this season.

SF Roosevelt Rough Riders (8-3) If the Riders can stop teams on their full court press they are a really dangerous team. They have a really tough schedule to end the season.

Yankton Gazelles (5-3) The Gazelles are playing really well right now without jr Mikala Hora. Tory Gross, Emily Fedders and Chloe Cornemann have keep the Gazelles in the hunt in a really tough district.

O'Gorman Knights (7-4) After a slow start the Knights have a 5 game winning streak and are hitting their stride. With key players coming back from injury they can make a strong run in the 2nd half of the season.

Lincoln Patriots (4-3) After back to back 30 point performances from Darby Hugunin, she has lead the Patriots this season. Along with Cera Ledbetter and Mica Standing Soldier the Patriots are looking for a strong 2nd half to the season.

Watertown Arrows (4-4) Anytime you have Tia Hemiller and Savannah Gravatt in the lineup you have a chance. The Arrows will need more play from their role players in the 2nd half of the season.

RC Stevens Raiders (3-5) It has been a disappointing start to the season for the Raiders. Margaret McCloud and Katie Klapprodt have lead the way for this team.
