Exira-EHK wins playoff game, stays unbeaten

Sports

February 17th, 2016 by admin

The Exira-EHK Girls Basketball team hosted the Griswold Tigers in a Regional Quarterfinal on Tuesday night in Elk Horn and the Spartans had little trouble advancing to the next round and keeping their undefeated record intact.  The Spartans forced 11 first quarter turnovers and raced out to a 12 point lead by the end of the quarter en route to a 64-41 win.

The Spartans got 17 points from Sophomore Sophia Peppers, 15 from Junior Mara Burmeister, and 12 apiece from Kealey Nelson and Rose Andersen.  The Spartans uncharacteristically only hit four three point shots during the game but controlled the offensive glass off many of their long range misses.

Griswold was led by Sophomore Mateya Peters with 10 points in the loss.  The Tigers finish the season at 9-13.  The Second-Ranked Spartans improve to 21-0 and will move on to host Sidney on Friday night at 7:00pm in a Regional Semifinal.

After Deonte Burton missed badly on a 3-pointer, Taurean Prince had a bounce pass to Motley for an emphatic two-handed dunk.
