Lady Longhorns bring home holiday tourney third place finish

    Chase County had to settle for third place in last week’s Cabela’s Holiday Shootout Basketball Tournament.
    After a winter storm moved through parts of Nebraska mid-week, tournament officials cancelled the first day of the tourney last Thursday in Sidney, changing it to a two-day event Friday and Saturday.
    That resulted in two, four-team tournaments, and Coach Mark Bottom said Chase County was definitely in the tougher one of the two girls’ divisions.
    In the opener Friday, the Lady Longhorns lost to top-ranked Mitchell, but came back to win Saturday’s consolation game against Torrington, Wyoming.
    In the championship game, Superior upended Mitchell 39-32 for the title, handing the Lady Tigers its first loss of the season, while Superior remained undefeated at 9-0 in Class C2.
    It doesn’t get easier this week for Chase County’s girls, as they host undefeated Dundy Co. Stratton tonight (Thursday), and will be home again Saturday versus Kimball.
