Lady Red Devils ready for tournament time
JOHN HAMILTON | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 3 months AGO
Completing regular season play with three games last week, coach Cory Brodmerkle and her Noxon Lady Red Devils will compete in the District 14C tournament in Polson this week. As the No. 7 seed, the Devils will face No. 2 Superior, with the winner of that game advancing on to play the winner of the No. 3 Hot Springs versus No. 6 Alberton game Friday.
Brodmerkle and her Lady Devils prepared for the district tourney playing three games last week, losing 70-6 to Plains in Plains Tuesday, falling to Two Eagle River 52-31 in Noxon Friday and dropping a 55-15 decision to Superior in Superior Saturday.
Against Superior, Kaylie Mercer led Noxon with six points, Nevaeh Christensen scored four, Sandy Bonney three and Abigail Yoder two.
Individual scoring form the Plains and Two Eagle games was not available at press time.
The top three finishing teams from the 14C tournament move on to the Western C divisional tournament in Butte Feb. 26-28.
Brodmerkle says her young squad is ready, willing and able to get after it this week. “We are so excited for district and the girls are so ready,” she said. “I love to say tournament time is a whole new season and that anything can happen. We are really looking forward to it.”
