Girls Finish Third in Holiday Tourney
On December 28th and 30th Clarkson-Leigh girls’ basketball took on new opponents, joining a different Holiday Tournament, hosted by Lakeview, than previous years. The Patriot girls traveled to Columbus Lakeview on Saturday the 28th to play the Scotus Central Catholic girls in the first round of the tournament.
Clarkson-Leigh girls started off the game with a lot of energy and ended the first half neck and neck with the Shamrocks 20-20. After a tough first half, the girls battled but unfortunately fell short losing 45-40.
“Even though the Scotus game didn’t have the ending that we were hoping for, I still think that we gave it our all and played well," said senior Izzy Hollatz. “We still have some things to work on going forward, but I think so far we have been playing as a team and giving all our effort at every game.”
Bouncing back the second day of the Holiday Tournament on Monday the 30th, the Patriot girls team took it to the Schuyler Warriors 68-26.
“The Schuyler game was a great game that gave every player different opportunities throughout the game. We played with a lot of energy and confidence, which ultimately led to us knocking down shots and making different plays to help us close out the win,” stated senior Baylee Settje. “Overall, it was a good game for us to get back on our feet after a tough loss against Scotus.”
“Coming out of break and playing Scotus was a tough battle. The girls worked hard and played great defense. Improving defensive rebounding will be important as we continue through the season. Throughout the tournament, we were able to find a rhythm and shot the basketball well. Overall, we were able to get our legs under us and are ready to head into the second half of the season,” said Head Coach Rebecca Hiatt about placing third in the Lakeview Holiday Tournament.
