(G/B) Le Mars at the Class 2A State Tournament in Waterloo – ppd. to Thursday
(high school basketball)
LE MARS — Junior Madison Dreckman scored all 13 first-half points in the final three minutes of the opening half to key a 16-3 second quarter as Le Mars built a 16-point lead at the break and coasted in with a 56-29 4A Regional finals win over visiting Denison-Schleswig Tuesday night. The No. 9 Lady Bulldogs punched their ticket to the 4A State tournament with the victory, marking just the second time in the girls basketball history at Le Mars that they have advanced to play in Des Moines. The last was 2002. Le Mars built the lead to 46-22 after three quarters and led by as many as 29 points with 3:37 to play in the game. Madison Dreckman led a balanced Bulldog scoring attack with 16 points, connecting on four three-pointers. Jaelynn Dreckman and Jenn Schneider added 12 each and Sidney Baumgartner had 11. Annie Ellis led a stellar defensive effort by Le Mars, holding Denison-Schleswig’s leading scorer, Alex Mohr, to no points. Caytlin Lee had 10 for the 11th-rated Monarchs. Le Mars improves to 17-and-6 and will have to wait until Wednesday night’s make-up game between Pella and Grinnell is complete to see where they fit into the 4A State tournament brackets.

#10-Bishop Heelan 68, #9-Le Mars (16-7) 53
LE MARS — No. 10 Bishop Heelan ran off 15 straight points in the first quarter to gain the upper hand early and then held off a furious late charge by No. 9 Le Mars to win 68-53 in a 3A Sub-State semifinal at the Bulldogs Competition gym Friday night. The Crusaders led by 19 at halftime and increased that lead to 22 in the third quarter before the Bulldogs staged a comeback bid. Bishop Heelan’s advantage was down to 14 by the end of the third quarter, thanks in part to nine straight points by Le Mars senior Will Pottabaum. Pottebaum was seeing his first action since December 21 due to a broken ankle suffered during pregame warm-ups January 5th at the Tyson Events Center. Pottebaum had not practiced at all leading up to the game but made a surprise entry into the contest in the second quarter. He finished with 11 points. Le Mars closed to within ten midway through the fourth quarter and Logan Lancaster’s second three-pointer of the quarter narrowed the deficit to 60-53 with 1:57 to play. The Crusaders canned six free throws, four by Elijah Hazekamp, and added a basket by Colin Kasperbauer to score the final eight points for a 15-point victory. Hazekamp finished with a game-high 29 points while Kasperbauer added 19. Gabe Eckstaine had 13 for Le Mars, then came Pottebaum with 11 and Dylan Rarrat-Kass and Logan Lancaster had 10 each. Le Mars closes out a 16-and-7 season and will lose nine seniors off this year’s team. Heelan improves to 14-and-9 and will meet Sergeant Bluff-Luton in the Sub-State final Monday night at the Tyson Events Center at 7 p.m.
