Lady Tigers split weekend games

LUSK - It’s an old adage in sports that you can’t give a good team a sizeable lead, and Friday’s game against Lingle-Fort Laramie was no different. Despite Emily ZumBrunnen’s opening three pointer, the Niobrara County High School Lady Tigers fell into an early hole. The visitors went on a 12-3 run after that, and continued to push the pace. With seven turnovers in the second period, NCHS was down 20 before ZumBrunnen knocked down another trey. A late basket from Sarah Krein helped close the gap at the break.
