Whiteland girls fall in tourney title game
For the Daily Journal
Tuesday offered a textbook example during the championship game of the Edinburgh Holiday Classic.
Class A No. 5 Jac-Cen-Del roared out to an 11-1 lead and never looked back as the Eagles dominated play to beat the Warriors for the championship, 63-48.
The win extended Jac-Cen-Del’s streak to eight games and improved its record to 10-2. Whiteland saw its modest two-game winning streak end and dropped to 4-7 heading into the holiday break.
Although the Warriors never led in the game, they didn’t fold up either as they fought back twice from a 20-point deficit to keep the Eagles from taking it easy a fact not lost on either coach.
Lancers fend off Hauser comeback
HOPE An Edinburgh girls basketball team that had been in quarantine for two weeks certainly did not show any rust from the layoff when it returned to the court Tuesday night.
The Lancers were efficient at both ends of the floor in a 63-51 win at Hauser in the Mid-Hoosier Conference opener for Edinburgh.
“After our break, it was really nice,” said sophomore Gracie Crawhorn, who led the Lancers with 16 points. “I think we played good as a team. We set up the plays and got good passes and good shots.”
Edinburgh (3-2, 1-0) was playing for the first time since Dec. 1 after a player had tested positive for COVID-19. The Lancers returned to practice on Monday.
