Full court pressure was expected from an athletic Lenox girls’ basketball team on Friday and Sigourney had a hard time handling it in a 52-33 class 1A regional semifinal loss at Clarke High School in Osceola.
As heard on KCII, the Tigers settled in first to jump out to a 7-1 lead, but a quick 6-0 Savage run headlined by free throws from Carly Goodwin and two-point buckets from Kaylee Weber and Julia VanEe tied it up at 7-all.
