The BRLD Girls Basketball Team saw their season come to an end Friday night as the Wolverines lost 56-43 to Stanton in the C2-2 District Final at Wisner-Pilger.
The Mustangs got out to a 17-12 lead after one, and outscored BRLD 15-9 in the 2nd quarter to take a 32-21 lead into the locker room.
Stanton won the 3rd quarter 11-6 to extend their lead to 43-27 at the end of three.
The Wolverines won the 4th quarter 16-13.
Vicki Gatzemeyer had 17 points to pace BRLD in her final game in a Wolverine uniform. Sophia Henneman chipped in 9 in her final game as well.
I thought BRLD had a really good chance to win this game and make state. The Wolverines just came up a little bit short though.
BRLD concludes the year with a 21-5 record.
It was a great and memorable season for the Wolverines, who picked up big wins over Howells-Dodge, Clarkson/Leigh, Ponca, Oakland-Craig (twice), Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family, Stanton, and North Bend Central.
BRLD won the East Husker Conference Tournament, and that had to be a big deal for the Wolverines.
BRLD graduates a talented senior class that includes Gatzemeyer, Henneman, Tiahna Bonneau, Kelcee Bacon, and Mariah Petersen.
The Wolverines bring back some nice talent though in Paige Peters, Brandi Simonsen, Caragan Tietz, and Kelsey Larsen.
I look for BRLD to have another nice season next year, and be a factor in the EHC Conference and postseason once again.
The Wolverines did a lot of great things and made a lot of nice memories this season, they simply came up short of reaching their goal and final desired destination.
I think not making state gives BRLD something to work towards and build for in the future though.
The Wolverines came so close this year, and it's going to hurt for a while, but BRLD has to put it behind them and move on and get ready for next season when they're ready.
A lot of hard work, determination, time, and effort went into this season for the Wolverines.
BRLD really did some special things, and I'm sure this season is something the players, coaches, parents, and fans will never forget.
The Wolverines almost made state in Boys and Girls, but there's the potential for that happening in the future yet.
BRLD has to take more steps in the right direction this offseason, and make the program even better than it already is.
I thought the Wolverines made a lot of strides from their first year to their second year so there's no reason to think BRLD can't take even more steps forward next season.
The Wolverines did a lot of nice and special things this year, and should be very proud of what they accomplished.
I'm sure everyone is bummed out and disappointed about not being at state, but there is always next year.
