Huskies Beat Ely for Third Place in Hibbing Holiday Tournament






The Huskies got back on the win track today by beating the Ely Timberwolves to take third place in the tournament. The score at the halfway mark was 44-16 and the final score was 69-35. Shelby made up in the shooting department from the game against Cambridge by scoring 28 points with 6 three's in the first half and ended up with 34 points and 8 three's. One point short of her career high and a new record for her in most three's in a game. I think the most three's she has had in a game is five. She had pulled her hamstring in the last seconds of the Cambridge game so we didn't know if she was even going to play!

We found out that Cambridge-Isanti was ahead by 17 with two minutes to go in the Championship game against Hibbing so many of us feel and felt yesterday, that the game between Bigfork and Cambridge should have been the Championship game. (The final score was 59-41 Cambridge)

I do have a few complaints about the tournament and wish they would give some type of awards to the top three teams and Consolation Champion and have an All Tournament team like most tournaments. It also seems Hibbing is in the weaker bracket and sails through to the Championship game every year. But oh well....it's their tournament I guess.

Congratulations to the Lady Huskies on a great job! You gals should be very proud of your performance in the tournament!

The girls will now play at Cook on Monday, January 5th.
