The varsity girls game in Wibaux was a closer contest. The girls got down by nine points early on and could never quite make up the deficit. They shot only 43 percent on free throws, 44 percent on two-point field goals, and 13 percent (3-23) from downtown. They did out-rebound the Longhorns and had 11 fewer turnovers, but could not overcome a bad night shooting the rock, eventually losing by 4. Hannah LaBree led CCHS in points with 17; Claire Callahan led in rebounds with 7.
