GOTHENBURG – The Gothenburg girls exacted revenge Thursday night when they routed Ogallala 61-21 in the C1-11 subdistrict final, a team they lost to days earlier.
It was an awkward, slow start out of the gates for both teams with neither squad finding offensive success. Gothenburg managed a 5-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Swedes offense would then explode in the second and third quarters as they outscored the Indians 38-14 to put the game away.
Gothenburg used a balanced offensive attack as four different players scored in double figures and eight three pointers were drained. Zoe Beveridge led the Swedes with 16 points on four made three pointers. Alex Beveridge scored 13 points and Clara Evert and Aubrey O’Hare each chipped in 10 points. The defense was just as good. Besides shutting out Ogallala in the first quarter, they held them to four points in the third quarter, only allowed seven total field goals and forced 22 turnovers. In the loss, Madeline Caskey led the team with eight points. The Indians would force 15 turnovers.
Gothenburg advances to the C1-7 District Final on Feb. 23 in Aurora where they will play North Bend Central. Tip off is set for 6:30 p.m. Listen to the game on 880AM, 106.9FM and krvn.com. Ogallala finishes the year 12-10.
