LE MARS — There were no surprises in the 3A District tournament semifinals in Le Mars Monday night as both the top seeded Bishop Heelan Crusaders and the second-seeded Le Mars Bulldogs advanced with impressive victories.  No. 6 Bishop Heelan turned back M-O-C/Floyd Valley 61-43 in the first game of the evening’s doubleheader schedule as Elijah Hazekamp dropped in 26 points for the Crusaders and Kyrese Peck added 19.  Josiah Jansen had nine for the Dutch.  Heelan improves to 16-and-6 while M-O-C/Floyd Valley bows out with a 6-and-16 record.

No. 9 Le Mars scored 45 second half points to pull away from a pesky Storm Lake team to win 75-52 in what would be the final appearance on the home court for six seniors.  Senior Jake Thompson made the night rather memorable with a career-best 31 points.  After being held scoreless in the first quarter, Thompson scored 10 points to lead the Bulldogs on a 13-0 run to close out the first half after falling behind 24-17 with 3:29 to play in the second quarter.  A 23-10 third quarter advantage put the Dogs in front by 19 heading into the final eight minutes with Thompson accounting for 16 of those 23 himself.  Trent Hilbrands and Will Pottebaum added 12 each for Le Mars.  Josh Werge led the Tornados with 22.  The Bulldogs improve to 16-and-6 and run their winning streak to five-straight heading into the District finals Thursday at Heelan.  Storm Lake ends the season at 14-and-8.

MAPLETON — No. 3 Exira/Elk Horn-Kimballton rallied from a 33-20 halftime deficit to beat Akron-Westfield 52-46 Monday night in the 1A Regional championship game at Mapleton to punch their ticket to the State tournament Monday in Des Moines.  Sophia Peppers led the way to victory with 21 points.  Bailey Davis had 11 for the Westerners, who were trying to advance to their first-ever State basketball tournament appearance.  Danika Tindall had 10 for the Westerners, who close out a 19-and-5 season.

CHEROKEE — No. 7 Kingsley-Pierson is headed back to the 1A State tournament after a heart-stopping finish to a 76-75 victory over No. 4 Newell-Fonda in the 1A Regional finals at Cherokee Monday.  Remsen-Union transfer, Bri Jensen, hit a pair of free throws with no time left on the clock to rally the Panthers from a 75-74 deficit.  The Mustangs had gone ahead ona free throw by Olivia Larsen with 3.4 seconds left.  Jensen was then fouled while attempting a three-point shot as time ran out.  For a brief moment it had appeared the Panthers had lost before tears turned to hope as Jensen went to the foul line for three free throws.  She missed the first attempt before hitting two pressurized shots to send the K-P fans into a wild celebration.  Jensen finished with nine points.  Senior Allison Bailey led the Panthers with a career-high 29 points while Addison Hirschman added 14 points and 15 rebounds for K-P.  Kingsley-Pierson (23-1) returns to Des Moines for a second year in a row to play No. 6 Marquette Catholic (21-3) at 11:45 next Monday.

TUESDAY RESULTS – February 21

(high school basketball)

COUNCIL BLUFFS — No. 5 Lewis Central earned a return trip to Des Moines for the 4A State tournament next week with a hard-fought 59-52 win over No. 10 Le Mars Tuesday night in the 4A Regional finals at Council Bluffs.  The Titans were stymied early when standout Maegan Holt (20.7 ppg) got into foul trouble and sat out for most of the first three quarters.  Although she didn’t score until the fourth quarter, she still finished with 11 points and connected on 9-of-10 free throw attempts in the fourth quarter for Lewis Central.  Le Mars sent the Titans to the free throw line 26 times in the fourth quarter in an attempt to catch up from an 11-point deficit early in the final period.  Lewis Central hit 21 of those 26 foul shots to hold off a late rally by the Lady Bulldogs.  Le Mars pulled to within 56-52 with 25-seconds to play but that is as close as they could get.  Sophomore Madison Dreckman carried a big share of the scoring load for Le Mars with 22 points while Jen Schneider and Sidney Baumgartner battled injuries.  Schneider was battling back problems while Baumgartner left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury.  Although Sid did return to play, she was obviously in some pain and her effectiveness was limited.  Schneider and Baumgartner had nine points each.  Freshman Megan Witte led Lewis Central with 16 points and Alissa Pomerenke had 11 off the bench.  Lewis Central, who advances to the 4A State tournament with a 22-and-1 record, hit 27-of-36 foul shots in the game.  Le Mars ends the season at 19-and-4 but lose only one senior, Gretchen Dodge, who played sparingly this season.

LE MARS — Gehlen Catholic moved into the 1A boys District finals Thursday in Cherokee with a 49-42 semifinal round win over Kingsley-Pierson Tuesday night at the Jason Puetz memorial gym.  The Jays jumped out to a 13-3 lead after the opening quarter and led 19-12 at halftime.  The Panthers had drawn to within 29-25 by the end of the third quarter before Gehlen secured the seven-point victory.  Cole Wiltgen and Alec Langel led the Jays with 19 points each.  Coby Fischer had 16 for K-P and Jessen Reinking added 10.  Gehlen Catholic improves to 17-and-6 heading into a rematch with 22-and-0, No.3 Remsen St. Mary’s Thursday in the District finals at the Cherokee gym at 7 p.m.  Kingsley-Pierson ends the season at 13-and-10.

SIOUX CITY — Senior Trent Hilbrands sent the 3A District finals into overtime Thursday night with a dramatic three-point shot with 2.6 seconds to play in regulation but Bishop Heelan regrouped and the No. 6 Crusaders won a 76-72 overtime decision over No. 9 Le Mars to advance to the 3A Sub-State Monday at the Tyson Events Center.  Elijah Hazekamp’s two free throws with 27 seconds to play in overtime extended Heelan’s lead to 75-72.  A three-point attempt by Le Mars rattled halfway inside the cylinder before exiting and Heelan grabbed the rebound.  Kyrese Peck drew a quick foul with 9.1 seconds to play.  He missed the first foul shot before hammering home the clincher.  This may go down as one of the greatest Heelan/Le Mars game of all-time!  A six point lead was the biggest difference between the two all night.  The Crusaders led by one at the end of the second and third quarters.  Le Mars trailed by six with 2:50 to play in regulation before closing on a 15-9 run to forge a 69-all tie.  Trent Hilbrands had 27 points for the Bulldogs to lead all scorers with Jake Thompson adding 17 and Will Pottebaum 11.  Elijah Hazekamp finished with 24 points to lead Heelan with 20 of those points coming after halftime.  Jack Boever hit five of Heelan’s 11 three-pointers and finished with 18, Kyrese Peck had 16 and Brenden Roder 10.  Le Mars ends the season at 16-and-7 while Bishop Heelan takes a 17-and-6 record to Monday’s Sub-State final against the winner of the District 2 final between Spirit Lake and Sergeant Bluff-Luton.  That game was postponed by the winter weather to Saturday night.

CHEROKEE — No. 3 Remsen St. Mary’s advanced to Monday night’s Sub-State game in Le Mars with a hard-fought 43-41 win over Gehlen Catholic in the 1A District finals Saturday night in Cherokee.  The victory keeps the Hawks unbeaten record intact at 23-and-0.  Gehlen’s Alec Langel tied the game at 41-all with a jumper in the lane with 1:52 to play to cap an 11-3 run that erased an eight-point St. Mary’s lead.  As it turned out that would be Gehlen’s final points of the 2016-2017 season.  Brody Ricke hit the second shot of his two free throw attempts with 69 seconds to play for a 42-41 lead and Colin Schroeder hit one of his two foul shots attempts with 23.6 seconds left for a 43-41 advantage.  Gehlen had ample opportunities in the closing seconds to tie the game again but the Hawks’ stingy defense dug in and denied any further points.  The Jays had one more opportunity after the Hawks missed on two foul shots with six seconds to play.  Gehlen got the rebound and Cooper Davis launched a shot from half court at the buzzer that went off the top of the back board.   The Jays season ends at 17-and-7.  Davis, the lone senior on the Gehlen roster, led all scorers with 13 points while Colin Schroeder and Nicholas Ruden had 10 each for Remsen St. Mary’s.  The two teams combined to miss 19 foul shots in the game.  St. Mary’s will meet No. 10 Boyden-Hull in the Monday’s Sub-State finals at the Le Mars Community gym starting at 7 p.m.  Coverage on KLEM begins at 6:50.
