LE MARS — The Le Mars boys threw the Lakes Conference basketball race into a three-way tie for first place after knocking off previously unbeaten and No. 6-rated Spirit Lake, 56-53, Friday night at the Bulldogs competition gym. The Bulldogs used a balanced scoring attack to pull off the upset, getting 16 points from Will Pottebaum, 15 from Jake Thompson and 14 from Gabe Eckstaine. The trio combined to hit eight three-pointers. Le Mars saw an 11-point lead nearly evaporate in the closing quarter when they hit just 3-of-10 free throw attempts. Alex Van Dyke led all scorers with 21 for Spirit Lake. The Indians fall to 8-and-1 for the season while Le Mars improves to 5-and-4. Both are now 4-and-1 in league play and trail 5-and-1 Western Christian by a-half game. Storm Lake, which lost to Le Mars and Western Christian this week, slips to 4-and-2 in Lakes play.
The No. 14 (4A) Le Mars girls improved their season mark to 6-and-2 with a 43-27 win over Spirit Lake Friday night. It was only the second win in the last 23 meetings with the Indians for the Lady Bulldogs. Jen Schneider’s career-best 19 points led the Le Mars scoring attack with Madison Dreckman adding 15. Schneider also turned in a stellar defensive effort, holding Spirit Lake’s Anna Brown to just 10 points, about nine points under her season average. Le Mars is now 3-and-2 in the Lakes Conference.
LE MARS —The Gehlen Catholic boys extended their winning streak to five straight Friday night, holding off Harris-Lake Park to win a War Eagle Conference match-up, 64-57 at the Jason Puetz memorial gym. Cooper Davis followed his 17 and 28-point offensive performances this week with 21 points Friday night to lead the Jays. Brady Livermore added 12 and Cole Wiltgen had 10 for Gehlen. Jordan Kyle had 22 for the Wolves to lead all scorers. Gehlen improves to 7-and-3 for the season and 3-and-1 in the War Eagle Conference.
Harris-Lake Park seized control of their War Eagle Conference game with Gehlen Catholic in the second quarter, outscoring the Lady Jays 17-8 to take a 25-10 halftime lead and the Lady Wolves rolled to a 55-35 victory. Madison Brevik and Taylor Meyer had 18 points each for Harris-Lake Park while Katelyn Langel scored 15 to lead Gehlen Catholic.
