COLO — Making the hour drive and facing what seemed to be the entire town of Colo in the stands, the Lynnville-Sully girls basketball team faced a series of challenges Tuesday night.

The Hawks started slow and somewhat recovered in the second half, but couldn't get over the hump in a 46-35 season-ending loss in the second round of Class 1A regional play to the host Royals.

"We had some shots and looks at the basket that we just couldn't knock down," L-S coach Jerry Hulsing said. "We were trying to rush things just a bit on offense, so we weren't keeping tracking of the basketball. When we were aggressive, we made things happen."
