Four Girls in Double Digits as Rockets Post Win in Playoff Opener
The Underwood girls’ basketball team took the number two seed in the North half of Section 6A into their playin game against Ada-Borup West on Wednesday night and the Rockets posted a 76-40 home court victory over the Cougars. Underwood led 38-21 at the half.
Leaders for the Rockets were Josey Bugbee (18 points, 7 rebounds, 7 steals), Liz Lukken (15 points, 4 steals), Mo Bugbee (12 points, 3 steals, 3 assists) and Ezrah Baker (11 points, 4 steals).
“We played decent at times, we struggled at others,” assessed Underwood Head Coach Brian Hovland. “I was very happy with our defense. We did a good job of getting into passing lanes and taking away the easy drives to the basket. Ezrah gave us a big spark in the first half of the game. We got a lot of great play off the bench.”
Underwood improved to 16-3 with the win. They will host New York Mills (14-4) at 7:00pm Friday in the 6A quarterfinals.
