The last couple regular season meetings between Lanesboro and Fillmore Central in boy’s basketball were a little bit heavy on the late game fireworks. Two years ago, then junior Zach Olstad hit a shot to give FC a 71-69 lead with 0:06 seconds left,

Coug’s Down Short-handed Falcons
A hectic week of county basketball action began on Monday, where the Fillmore Central girls hosted Mabel-Canton. It’s no secret the Falcons are a bit short handed. The last thing they needed was injuries, ailments, or foul trouble. They got all three. Two key players (starting F Sammi Bakke and reserve G Larissa Armstrong) were in street clothes. Leah Scheevel (another starting F) played sparingly per fouls. The Cougars took advantage. The 1st half was tight (M-C up 20-19), but the Cougs began the 2nd half on a 13-2 run. They turned 12 O-rebounds into 13 second chance points. FC, utilizing a pair of 8th graders, was overwhelmed. M-C got the win 50-38.
Cougar senior F Christy Welscher had 14 points (6 of 9 shooting), 14 rebounds, and 6 steals. After sitting for much of the 1st half (2 pts, 0 rebs) per foul trouble, junior G Lydia Geving finished strong (13 pts on 6 of 8 shooting, 7 rebs, and 4 assists). The backcourt of Jordan O’Connor (14 pts, 5 rebs) and Morgan Malley (10 pts, 4 rebs, 4 assists) led FC.
Burro Battlers
The same night in Houston, the Hurricanes and Lanesboro girls did battle. The first half was back and forth. Houston led 32-27 at the intermission. The ‘Canes kept their lead early in the 2nd half. Then Lanesboro took control. The Burros built a 58-51 only for Houston to go on a 14-4 run to take a 66-62 (less than 0:30 to go). Johanna Bearson then made a pair of FTs. An Alisa Warnes bucket sent the game to overtime. There, Houston outscored Lanesboro 16-8 for the 82-74 win. Abbey Loken (28 pts, 15 rebs) and Vanessa Lee (16 pts, 7 assists) were huge for the home squad. Anna Sweet (14 pts) and Kelly Jerviss (13 pts, 12 rebs) helped out.
Lanesboro’s seniors led the way, Bearson (22 pts, 4-7 from deep), Warnes (14 pts, 8 rebs) and Kaia Hongerholt (10 pts, 6 rebs, 6 assists). The teams scored 97 points after intermission.
On Tuesday in Spring Grove, the Lions and Lanesboro boys hooked up in a battle of SEC (6-0) unbeatens. Lanes held three brief leads (early). They stayed very close throughout. Late in the 2nd half, the Lions built a 60-50 lead before the Burros got to within two (64-62). They had the ball down three (65-62) in the waning seconds, but then a turnover. Spring Grove’s Josh Olerud, who had a career game (27 pts, 11 rebs), sank a couple FT’s to cinch it. The final was 67-62. Luke Rogers (26 pts, 7-9 .....

It happens often. It makes no sense. One team comes out hot/looking good, the other cold/not so good. Then those rolls switch after the intermission. The Chatfield boys came out smoking against Rushford-Peterson. Looking for some redemption after lo
