The final score doesn’t indicte how well Kuemper played on Saturday afternoon. Cherokee hit three early 3’s to jump ahead 11-0. Brooklyn Gifford hit the first of her 3-3’s in the game to get Kuemper on the board. Kuemper trailed 23-10 after the 1
st quarter but hung right with the number 1 ranked team in the state for the 2
nd and 3
nd quarter 25-20 and the 3
rd quarter 12-7 as the Knights found themselves down 23 at the end of the 3
rd. The game stayed mainly between 15-21 ponts most of the 2
nd and 3
rd quarters.
Kuemper did a nice job hanlding the man to man full court pressure and shot the ball well fron down town with Gifford and Catherine Mayhall each making 3-3’s and Kyndal Hilgenberg draining 1. Akuet Malek had a fantastic game with 7 points and 10 rebounds may have the state single season record for block shots. She needed 11 and unofficially had more than that but official stats won’t be released until later this weekend.
Through ripple effect, a UW employeeâs weekly ritual helps others process pandemic losses
Last May, when deaths from COVID-19 surpassed 100,000 in the United States, Omar Poler decided he needed to do something to acknowledge the immense loss.
He worried that, to many people, the death toll had become just a number â abstract and impersonal. He felt compelled, at least in his own life, not to let that happen.
