As the regular season comes to an end, Twin Cedars is ready to give credit where credit is due. The Sabers will hold their senior night on Monday as Hartwik-Ladora-Victor comes to Bussey.
Among the players to be recognized include Sabers girls Chloe Swank and Jenna Hastings as well as the trio of Jace Nichols, Kade Dunkin, and Brett Sedlock for the boys team.
Girls Head Coach Trent Verwers says that he has always been impressed with the efforts of his two elder players during his tenure.
“This group of seniors, we only have two. Chloe Swank and Jenna Hastings. Those two girls were sophomores when I took over and accepted every bit of the challenge that I gave to them when I first got here. They’ve stayed with the course. It’s going to be good to finally send them out.”
The Twin Cedars basketball teams played in their final contests of the annual Bluegrass Conference tournament Thursday and split their matchups on the consolation side of the bracket. The Sabers girls fell to Diagonal 25-24 and the boys defeated Moulton-Udell 64-41.
The Sabers girls were led by Brooke Roby and Jenna Hastings, who each scored eight points. Despite having a great defensive showing, Head Coach Trent Verwers says that you simply can’t win without putting up 30 on the scoreboard yourselves.
“We can have our best defensive night of the year, but at the end of the day if you don’t put up even 30 points it’s going to be hard to win. We just got to get another win and then I think we’ll be back to moving along. We got some tough teams coming up. It’ll be nice to get that double digit win first. Tonight would have been an easier night to do that as opposed to who we got coming up. It’s not impossible, but just not where it needed to be to win.”
