The Twin Cedars basketball teams played in their final contests of the annual Bluegrass Conference tournament Thursday and split their matchups on the consolation side of the bracket. The Sabers girls fell to Diagonal 25-24 and the boys defeated Moulton-Udell 64-41.

The Sabers girls were led by Brooke Roby and Jenna Hastings, who each scored eight points. Despite having a great defensive showing, Head Coach Trent Verwers says that you simply can’t win without putting up 30 on the scoreboard yourselves.

“We can have our best defensive night of the year, but at the end of the day if you don’t put up even 30 points it’s going to be hard to win. We just got to get another win and then I think we’ll be back to moving along. We got some tough teams coming up. It’ll be nice to get that double digit win first. Tonight would have been an easier night to do that as opposed to who we got coming up. It’s not impossible, but just not where it needed to be to win.”

The Sabers boys for the second day in a row had the same trio reach double figures: Kade Dunkin finished with 21 points, Dallas Clark had 17 on top of 20 rebounds, and Devin Arkema had 11.

Twin Cedars will be back in action Monday as they host Hartwick-Ladora-Victor as part of the Sabers’ senior night.
