Playing a solid all-around first half last Tuesday evening (January 15), the paired varsity girls’ basketball team of Heron Lake-Okabena and Fulda High Schools battled strong against one of the best squads in the Red Rock Conference.
After earning a 35-23 halftime advantage, the visiting Wolverines of the pairing of Mountain Lake Area and Comfrey strolled to a 66-35 victory in a game played on HL-O’s court in Okabena.
“Our girls came out and played a great first half,” declared HLOF head coach Anna Brandt. “We hung right with them most of the half, despite making only one of six free throws.”
