The Sigourney boys basketball team was knocked out of the playoffs Monday night by fellow South Iowa Cedar League foe Lynnville-Sully 72-44. Both teams started hot offensively with the Hawks holding a 21-17 lead after the first eight minutes. Lynnville-Sully used a 13-5 run that spanned the entire second quarter to open a 34-22 lead going into the half. The Hawks won the second half 38-22 over the Savages including a 20-10 margin in the third quarter to pull away for the win. Levi Crawford led Sigourney with 17 points. The Savages end the season with a 9-13 record and say goodbye to seniors Josh Mohr, Gunner Goff, Mason Moore, Brock Halleran, and Colton Schwab.
It was a happy bus ride home Friday for the Sigourney basketball teams when they invaded North English and ended the night with a pair of South Iowa Cedar League wins over English Valleys.
The Savage girls jumped all over the Bears for a 29-11 advantage at the break and that big cushion proved to loom large in the second half. English Valleys won the third quarter 16-9 and a 13-8 fourth made the game interesting, but Sigourney hung on for the road victory. Kaylee Weber had another productive night hitting nine of 12 shots to finish with 21 points and nine rebounds. Zoe Webb and Julia VanEe each added seven points. The Bears drop to 7-8 and the Savages won their eighth straight to move to 13-3.
