G-E-T drops final two of regular season

The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau girls basketball team were on the losing end of their last two games of the regular season prior to a playoff matchup with Amery early this week.

The winner of that matchup between No. 6 seed Amery and the 11th-seeded Red Hawks advances to Friday’s Division Three regional semifinals to take on No. 3 seed Baldwin-Woodville.

Mondovi 57 G-E-T 47

After a 15-2 run to open the game, the Buffaloes (11-12) built up a 12-point halftime lead and kept the Red Hawks at arm’s length throughout the second half during their non-conference tilt last Tuesday in Mondovi.

Despite the loss, G-E-T sophomore Caydie Thompson posted a double-double with 15 points and 15 rebounds. Additionally for the Red Hawks, sophomore Brookelynn Keller scored 14 points and the duo of junior Joshlyn Lunsford and sophomore Charlee McCutchen each tallied six points.

Mondovi was led in scoring by a trio of juniors: Addyson Gray with 24 points, Olivia Snyder with 15 and Hannah Bauer with 12.

The Red Hawks (3-21, 2-10 Coulee) fell victim to a season sweep with a loss to the Knights (15-9, 9-3) last Thursday in Galesville. Viroqua’s win over Arcadia that same night meant Luther was able to nab a share of this year’s Coulee Conference championship.

The Knights were led in the victory by a trio of sophomore scorers: Natalie Hackbart with 23 points, Brinley Schmitz with 11 and Tessa Gloede with 10. G-E-T stats were not available at the time of publication.
