L-S girls hold off C-M in overtime, Hawks sweep Tigerhawks

SULLY — Greenlee Smock’s big night, Brooke Conover’s career night and a dominant effort on the glass propelled Lynnville-Sully’s girls basketball team to an overtime win over Colfax-Mingo on Tuesday night.

The Hawks jumped out to an early lead but needed an extra period to down the Tigerhawks, 59-53, during South Iowa Cedar League action.

“I am really proud of how the girls responded tonight. They kept battling all night,” L-S head girls basketball coach Jerry Hulsing said. “It was good seeing the girls step up to the free-throw line and make some key shots.”

Free throws proved to be a big positive for the Hawks. L-S was 16-of-28 from the line, while Colfax-Mingo made 9-of-15. The Hawks also out-rebounded the Tigerhawks 43-32. Both teams committed 17 turnovers.

“A big difference in the game was our rebounding,” Hulsing said. “I thought we did a good job of moving the ball and getting good looks.”

Lynnville-Sully (11-10 overall, 8-8 in the SICL) led 14-8 after one and Colfax-Mingo outscored the Hawks 14-8 in the third. Both teams scored 13 points in the second and 14 in the fourth. The home team won the overtime period 10-4.

Smock finished with 18 points, seven rebounds, three assists and eight steals and Brooke Conover registered a career-high 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds off the bench.
