Two area squads and only one can move on. That’s the scenario in Wayland tonight when the WACO girls’ basketball team plays host to Highland in a first round class 1A regional.
The Warriors concluded the regular season 7-12, but won two of their final three including a 25-point beatdown of ranked Van Buren. Ellah Kissell has been a catalyst with 13.9 out of their 45 points a game. Morgan Graber adds 8.3 points and Grace Coble brings in 6.6 boards a night. Highland is 2-12 and they last fell to Louisa-Muscatine 62-34 on Tuesday. Dani Laughlin records 14.4 points a game while shooting 34% from the floor. Sarah Burton controls the rebounding department with 7.4. Turnovers have been a bugaboo for both teams with 23 and 25 a game, respectively. This is the first meeting between these two programs in five years.
