Thursday morning at the District 9C girls basketball tournament is all about staying alive. It's all about keeping the season going.
And that's what the Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds and Chinook Sugarbeeters did Thursday inside the HHS gymnasium.
In the first girls loser-out game of the tournament, the T-Birds walloped Big Sandy 57-33, as HLP used a 20-8 run in the fourth quarter to put the Pioneers away.
HLP (6-14) got a balanced attack, led by Latasha Kirkaldie's 13 points, while Jaedyn Chandler added 11, including three 3-pointers, and Mulleah Stiffarm chipped in with 10. Big Sandy (2-18), which was eliminated with the loss, got an outstanding, game-high 20 points from Jaylyn Cline, while Amanda Cline chipped in with six.
In the second loser-out game of the morning, it was Chinook which moved on. Facing arch rival Chester-Joplin-Inverness, the Beeters went on a 14-3 run in the second quarter to take a 25-10 lead at halftime. CJI rallied with a 14-11 binge in the third quarter, but Chinook finished the game on a 10-1 run win, 50-31.
Kourtney Hanson paced Chinook with 14 points and nine rebounds, while Lincy Johnson added 11 and Rachel Gunderson scored nine. CJI (2-18), which was eliminated with the loss, got nine points from Tatum Hull and seven from Emma Wickum.
Chinook (8-12) now takes on North Star in a loser-out game this morning, while HLP battles Turner in another loser-out game this afternoon. The winner's of those two games will meet in tonight's consolation game, which tips at 7 in the HHS gymnasium.
