They are the two-time defending SEC East champions. Last year’s co-champion, Kingsland, moved to the SEC-West. And then in one week, Dale Moga’s Houston’s girls won two lopsided affairs with division foes. An early view into how the East may shape up is forming. The Hurricanes downed Lanesboro by 32, 53-21. Emma Geiwitz (16 pts, 4-7 threes), Becca Rostad (13 pts, 7 rebs), and Sydney Torgerson (12 pts, 7 rebs, 4 stls) got to double figures. Jenny Albrecht added ancillary help (6 pts, 4 rebs, 6 stls). Lanesboro was led by Brielle Ruen (7 pts). The ‘Canes were up 31-7 at the half. Houston then went to Spring Grove and really put it on the Lions, winning by 58, 81-23. It was 52-10 at the half. Geiwitz (26 pts, 7 rebs, 7 stls), Albrecht (16 pts, 4-5 threes, 6-8 FGs, 8 rebs), Torgerson (16 pts, 7-10 FGs), and Rostad (13 pts, 3-3 threes) combined to go 11 of 14 from distance. In other East affairs, M-C beat Schaeffer and Lanesboro beat the Cougars. Houston (2-0, 2-2) is the early division favorite.
