Canadian girls clinch District 1-3A
In a highly anticipated rematch, the Canadian Lady Cats backed up their No. 1 ranking grabbing a convincing 60-41 at Bushland in a key District 1-3A showdown on Tuesday night.
Canadian locks up the district championship outright improving to 29-1 on the year and a perfect 8-0 in league play. Bushland falls to 20-7, 6-2.
In an electric atmosphere of a packed Bushland Gym, Canadian seized the momentum in the closing minutes of the second quarter. Tied 22-22, the Lady Cats went on an 8-0 run to take a 30-22 lead at halftime they’d never relinquish. In the fourth quarter, the Lady Cats iced the game outscoring the Lady Falcons 18-9 down the stretch. Sophomore guard Samantha Krehbiel poured in a game-high 14, followed by teammate, Briley Merket’s 12. Tinley Pennington started the game off hot scoring all 9 of her 11 points in the first quarter.
