The St. Andrews-Sewanee girls middle school basketball team went into their conference tournament facing Swiss Memorial. The previous two games were decided by 1 point in each SAS win. This game would have a different twist.
The Mountain Lions were narrowly edged out, with Swiss Elementary claiming victory with a final score of 19-18. SAS scored at the end, but the basket was waved off due to a foul.
High scorers for the Mountain Lions were Savannah Blosser, Aubrey Blosser, and Adeline Pond, each securing 5 points. Maggie Mayo added 2 points to the scoreboard, while Catherine Barnett contributed 1.
Eighth graders Aubrey Blosser and Catherine Barnett were selected to the Big Six All-Conference team.
Despite the tournament loss, Coach Paige Lowe expressed pride in the team's progress throughout the season, stating, “I am proud of the girls for the improvements we made this season. It was a great group to work with.”
