GIRLS BASKETBALL SPLIT TWO GAMES
HAWKS AT MASON WEDNESDAY
Lakota East fell to Lakota West 51–42 last Friday, despite a gritty, balanced effort. Bella Sturgill led the Thunderhawks with 12 points and four rebounds, consistently attacking the basket and getting to the free-throw line.
Bailey Bacher and Payton Buker each added nine points, with Bacher also pulling down a team-high nine rebounds and Buker knocking down a pair of threes. Lakota East battled on the glass and at the foul line but struggled to find rhythm offensively, shooting 34.1% from the field and 28.6% from beyond the arc. A strong defensive effort kept the game within reach, but West did just enough late to hold on and seal the nine-point win.

Lakota East pulled away for a convincing 54–35 win over Hamilton last Saturday, using balanced scoring, strong rebounding, and defensive pressure throughout the game. The Thunderhawks controlled the glass with 39 total rebounds and forced Hamilton into tough possessions, turning stops into steady offense. Isadore McCune led all scorers with 11 points off the bench, adding 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals in a standout all-around performance. Bella Sturgill was a force inside with 8 points and a game-high 8 rebounds, while Payton Buker chipped in 7 points, 3 assists, and a steal to help keep the offense moving. Lakota East’s depth and teamwork proved to be the difference as they cruised to the 19-point victory.
