The win against Winside moved
Osmond into the fifth-place game Saturday, Feb. 8, in Wynot against
Winnebago.
The first quarter was a very close contest for the first six minutes. With
less than two minutes left in the quarter, Winnebago was able to go on a 5-0 run to double up Osmond’s
first quarter points and led 14-7. The second quarter would play out very similarly as Osmond would trail 14-29 going into the locker rooms at halftime.
The third quarter saw both teams trading shots as Osmond was able to get some shots to fall while attacking the basket, but Winnebago had been able to keep the pace up, slightly extending their lead 42-26.
A solid defensive fourth quarter for Osmond held Winnebago scoreless until the 3:20 mark of the quarter, which helped cut into the lead, closing the gap to a 31-42 margin with less than half the quarter remaining to play.
At that point Winnebago had answered the run and scored a basket to end their scoring drought. Unfortu- nately, Osmond's final surge fell short by the final buzzer and the scoreboard read 34-47.
Kaleigh Miller was one point shy of the double-double as she finished with a very solid game of 9 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks. Sophia Gansebom’s court vision was on display as she finished with a team-high 5 assists. Score by Quarter
Osmond 7 7 12 8 = 34 Winnebago 14 15 13 5 = 47
