The Warsaw Lady Cats came from 12 points behind in the third to take a four point lead in the fourth, only to fall at home to Climax Springs 47-46.
The Monday night game ended in a thriller as Aubrie McRoberts had two shots underneath the basket, but couldn’t get either one to fall as the horn sounded to end the game.
McRoberts scored her 1,000th career point on a free throw in the first quarter. She came into the game at 991 and ended with 22 on the night and the junior will probably be inducted into the WHS Hall of Fame in a few years.

The Lincoln Cardinals defeated the Windsor Mustangs at home on Tuesday night 48-43. Foul trouble with their star player and  missed free throws kept the Cardinals from overpowering a team without a senior.
The Mustangs, to their credit, made one of the most difficult shots in basketball all night long in the straight -in five footer. The reason being is that there is indecision with banking the ball high off the glass or just shooting the clean shot.

Lincoln’s Junior Nate Hesse, a first class athlete, a second team all- state football player and a huge part in Lincoln’s basketball and baseball program this season is out of action for the time being. 
 As a receiver, he made some catches during the playoffs that will not be long forgotten around the area. 
Now he sits, he watches, and he waits. Hesse broke his foot in practice last week and will be out of action for at least three weeks.
Hesse commented, “I came down wrong and figured I broke it”

The third seeded Lincoln Cardinals jumped out to a 13-0 lead over top seeded Slater and held on to a  53-45 victory to win the championship of the Otterville tournament.
The Saturday afternoon contest was played before a packed house in the rather small Otterville gym. 
Slater, who came into the contest with only one loss on the season, couldn't buy a bucket early on. It was that run which pretty much decided matters as Slater could never really close the gap on the Cardinals.
