GIRLS' BASKETBALL TAKES LOSS FROM COMETS
East Girls Basketball took a regular-season finale loss at Mason last Saturday in a battle for the 2023-24 GMC title. It was the 2nd season in a row the two schools fought for the league title in the last game of the season.
The Hawks played the Comets tough the first two quarters plus. Celina Blount scored all of her 13 points — including three 3-point buckets — to help Lakota East take an 11-8 lead into the second quarter and a 22-16 advantage into the halftime break.
The Thunderhawks (14-8, 13-3 GMC) built their largest lead at 25-16 out of the third-quarter gate, but that’s when Mason began to march back. The Comets went on a 11-1 run then outscored East 17-9 in the final frame to win another GMC title.
Brooke Asher went 4 of 8 from beyond the arc to score a game-high 15 points for the Thunderhawks, who face the winner of Talawanda and Withrow on Thursday, Feb. 22, at 5:30 p.m. at Middletown.
