All hands on deck • Bobcat defenders Ella Bolling, Jenna Funk, Preslie Robertson and Lydia Robertson fight for possession during Friday's home game against Niobrara/Verdigre. The Cougars won, 57-53.
Despite 30 points from senior phenom Ady Mlarnik, the Bobcats couldn't quite catch Niobrara/Verdigre in Friday night action.
The Cougars left Summerland with a 57-53 win.
Early in the first quarter, Mlnarik drove the lane for a bucket, her 1,000th career point, cementing her place in Bobcat basketball history.
The Robertson sisters - Lydia and Preslie - each finished with eight points.
Head coach Jacob Birch said his squad dug themselves a little bit of a hole getting down by 11 or 12ish in the third quarter.
"I was extremely proud of the effort and the way the girls dug in and battled back to tie the game. Ultimately, we just didn't have quite enough gas in the tank to win it at the end. Everyone played hard," he said.
