The Cowgirls finished the 2020 portion of their schedule at 6-1 with a 44-27 win over the Bulldogs at Algona on December 22. They shot 48.7 percent from the field, an even 50 percent from the line and 44.4 percent from three-point land. They had 27 total rebounds, 18 of which on defense, 15 total assists and 10 total steals. 

If points could be awarded for effort and determination to stay in games to the final buzzer to enhance your chances of winning, then the Cowboy basketball team’s record would look a bit different. As it is, that record is not at all indicative of how they are playing right now.

The Clear Lake basketball team was by no means a congenial host last Tuesday, handing the visiting Cowgirls their first loss by a 50-27 score. The Lions already had built a 31-13 halftime lead. The team shot 23.3 percent from the field, 57.1 percent from the line and an even 30 percent from three-point land. They made 24 total rebounds, nine total assists and seven total steals.

Cowgirl JV basketball coach Gary Anderson reported on his team’s opening games. Members of the team this year are: Delia Swanson, Summer Traub, Olyvia Olson, Nikki Kapka, Sawyer Morrical, Kennedy Trca, Kayleigh Dow, Emma State, Melandy Borrales and Payton DeCoster.
