Twin Cedars had their first home matchup since their return to play Tuesday and they once again had a split. The Sabers girls bested Seymour 42-40 and the boys fell 51-48 in a couple of nail biting games in Bussey.
Cheyanne Burns led the team in scoring with 13 points to go with four steals and four blocks. Brooke Roby added another 12 points and added eight rebounds. Twin Cedars held on despite losing three of their four top scorers in the fourth quarter due to fouling out and an injury. At 7-6 overall (5-2 in conference), the Sabers have their best record since 2012 at this point of the season.
The second game back for the Sabers was a mirror image of the first as they split a double header at Diagonal Monday. The Twin Cedars girls won 35-34 and the boys fell 48-40.
The Sabers’ girls were led by Brooke Roby’s 12 points, 5 assists, and 5 steals, but it was Cheyanne Burns who played hero as she scored the winning basket with less than 30 seconds left. At 6-6, this is the latest into a season that Twin Cedars has been .500 or better since 2012. Head Coach Trent Verwers adds that he needed to incorporate all of his girls as Diagonal closed in on Roby defensively the entire game, which led to a “great team win.”
