"For most of the girls it was their first varsity game. I think they accepted it well and handled the pressure. We’re never satisfied with a loss, but I am pleased with the effort."Sam Lynn led the way with 15 points and seven assists. Kelly Banck had 11 points and five rebounds. Kayla Bullerman and Brittany Bullerman scored 10 and nine points, respectively."Midway through the second quarter they got up by 22 points and we weren’t getting back on defense. We kind of let them stretch it out on us there."Adrian battled back to within 58-51 with 2 minutes, 30 seconds to go, but could get no closer.Adrian hosts Edgerton Thursday and hosts SSC on Saturday afternoon.Box ScoreEmily Their 1 0-0 2,Banck 3 1 2-4 11, Lynn 5 1 2-4 15, Reisdorfer 1 0-0 2, Courtney Their 1 0-0 2, Kayla Bullerman 2 6-6 10, Brittany Bullerman 4 1-2 9, Loosbrock 1 0-0 2.Team totals:Shooting: A 20-61 for 33 percent, SWC 24-57 for 42 percent.
