Underwood led 31-26 at halftime in their Little Eight Conference girls’ basketball contest at Parkers Prairie.  The Rockets held on for a 55-53 win over the Panthers.

Underwood was led by Josey Bugbee with 20 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds.  Liz Lukken added 17 points and Lydia Baker had 8 points and 5 rebounds.

“We started out hot and kept a lead through the whole game until the three minute mark when Parkers took a 51-49 lead,” said Underwood Head Coach Brian Hovland.  “Liz was able to get to the hole and score the last four points.  We were able to hang onto that lead.  Josey had a huge game.  I’m extremely proud of the defensive effort of this group of girls.”

Underwood (10-2, 8-1 LEC) is at Lake Park to face Lake Park-Audubon on Thursday night.

Parkers Prairie (9-2, 7-1 LEC) will host Rothsay on Thursday.
