HUMBOLDT — Yates Center High’s girls came away with a hard-fought victory Tuesday over their old rivals from Humboldt High, 43-32.
Humboldt coach Sherri Nelson was proud of her team’s effort in the loss.
“The Lady Cubs have almost put it all together, and are so close to where we want to be,” she said. “We just need to tweak a few more things.
“We won three out of four quarters tonight, but we just couldn’t finish,” Nelson continued. “The girls and their effort were great.”
Sherri Middleton paced Humboldt with 10 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and two steals. Lakota Wilson followed with eight points, three rebounds and two steals. Kayle Riebel had five points, six rebounds and a steal. Brea Kline had three points, a rebound and two steals. Delaney Umholtz and Whitney Strack provided three points apiece.
