3A BOYS SUB-STATE FINALS
(sub-state 1 at Sioux City North)
Sergeant Bluff-Luton (14-10) 61, Le Mars (15-9) 46
SIOUX CITY — Sergeant Bluff-Luton punched their State tournament ticket for a fourth straight year Monday night with a 61-46 victory over the Le Mars Bulldogs to claim the 3A Sub-State 1 championship. The Warriors jumped on top 6-0 and eventually went in front by 16 in the second quarter. The Bulldogs did manage to trim the deficit to eight by halftime at 28-20. S-B-L again extended the lead to 16 in the third quarter and led by 13 heading into the final eight minutes. Le Mars never got closer than seven for the rest of the game. Sergeant Bluff-Luton used a line-up that went 6’8″, 6’7″, 6’7″ across their front line and the Warriors used that big size advantage to dominate on the backboards and also make it a challenging night for the Le Mars offense. Daniel Wright led S-B-L with 19 points and Nick Muller added 14. Alec Dreckman and Spencer Mackey had 19 and 11 points respectively for Le Mars but both would tell you they had to work pretty hard for their shots. The Bulldogs finish the season at 15-9 while S-B-L takes a seven-game winning streak and 14-10 record to Des Moines next week.

DES MOINES — For two and a-half quarters unrated Gehlen Catholic looked headed for yet another tournament upset over a state-rated team. But No. 2 Marquette Catholic wiped out a seven-point third quarter deficit with an 11-3 run that put the Mohawks in front 37-36 forty seconds into the fourth quarter and Marquette sidestepped the upset bid with a 60-53 victory Wednesday night in the 1A Girls State basketball tournament quarterfinals at the Wells Fargo Arena. The Lady Jays were never able to reclaim the upper hand and Marquette’s 24 points in the final quarter sealed the outcome. The big front line for the Mohawks of six-footers Tori Michel and Ellie O’Brien and 5’11” Miranda Peters finally took control of the game in the final quarter. All three finished with double-doubles. Michel had 19 points and 12 rebounds, the Mohawks leading scorer, Peters overcame foul trouble to lead the fourth quarter charge with 17 points and 18 rebounds and O’Brien had 10 points and hauled in 13 rebounds. Sydney Livermore had a double-double for the Lady Jays with 15 points and 12 rebounds while Lauren Heying and Kate Hill added 11 each. Addison Weber hit only one three-pointer in the game and ended her career with 1,062 points as Gehlen’s all-time career scoring leader. The Lady Jays end the season at 15-10. Marquette moves on to the semifinals Friday with a 24-1 record and a 20-game winning streak.
