L-S girls stay unbeaten, dominate SICL rival Sigourney

SULLY — Breah Lowry put in 15 points, Kate Harthoorn made three 3-pointers and the Lynnville-Sully girls basketball team swiped 18 steals during its 56-20 win over Sigourney on Tuesday.

The Class 1A No. 7 Hawks claimed their sixth straight win against the Savages, and the 36-point margin of victory was the largest in the series since L-S won 54-18 on Nov. 20, 2012.

“I thought our tempo was the difference tonight,” L-S head girls basketball coach Jerry Hulsing said. “We played well defensively, making them work for every shot they got. Then we ran the floor well and were able to get out and get some easy baskets.”

The Hawks led 15-4 after one quarter and outscored Sigourney 19-5 in the second and 14-4 in the third of the South Iowa Cedar League game.

Lowry led the way with 15 points, five rebounds, five assists and seven steals and Harthoorn totaled 13 points, six rebounds and four assists. She was 3-of-7 from 3.
