Fast start propels Exira-EHK past Woodbine in district hoops

Sports

February 18th, 2023 by admin

Exira-EHK opened up their Class 1A District Semifinal against Woodbine with a 17-0 run and never looked back, ultimately prevailing 70-50. After the quick start the Tigers could never really seize much momentum back in their favor. A six point spurt to start the second half got Woodbine within 13 but they would never get closer. The Spartans advance to the District 15 Final on Tuesday night against West Harrison in Harlan. Spartan senior Trey Petersen talked about what was working at the start.

Petersen hit 5 threes in the game and led the Spartans with 18 points. He said the shot just felt good and credited his teammates for getting him open looks.

The defensive effort was pretty solid for the Spartans as well, forcing 9 first half turnovers for the Tigers. Petersen said after losing in their last meeting to Woodbine they wanted to emphasize playing tough defense.

Cash Emgarten added 14 points and Aiden Flathers and Derrek Kommes each added 12 for Sparty, who improved to 19-4 on the season. Petersen said they’re excited to get the chance to face the Hawkeyes again.

Woodbine was led by 22 points from sophomore Carter Gruver. The Tigers finish the season at 16-7.

Spartans pull away in the fourth quarter to reach Regional Final

Sports

February 17th, 2023 by admin

Ella Heithoff hit a three to start the fourth quarter to put Coon Rapids-Bayard up 41-40 on Exira-EHK, but the Spartans took control from there. A 10-0 run grabbed the lead back for Exira-EHK and they continued to pull away. The Spartans senior class will head to their fourth straight Regional Final on Wednesday night.

Exira-EHK led 24-23 at halftime and were struggling to defend the post. Breeley Clayburg had 12 points in the first half for the Crusaders and finished with 16 for the game before getting injured near the end of the third quarter. Her presence was certainly missed down the stretch but the Spartans also turned up the defensive pressure and started to knock down some jumpers. Exira-EHK Head Coach Tom Petersen said making some of those shots they were missing in the first half made a big difference.

Coach Petersen talked about learning some things defending a post that was playing well.

The two senior guards led the way for the Spartans. Quinn Grubbs finished with 21 and Shay Burmeister had 17. Coach Petersen is proud of what they’ve accomplished.

Burmeister talked about the game and her career arc.

The Spartans improved to 19-4 on the season. They will meet 4th-ranked Remsen-St. Mary’s on Wednesday night in the Region 4 Final.

Breeley Clayburg led Coon Rapids-Bayard with 16 points and Malia Clayburg had 13. The Crusaders end a strong season at 16-8.
