POMEROY–The Lady Buccaneers look to wrap up the 2024 side of this season's schedule with away games at Dayon this Friday and at Liberty Christian on Monday, December 30 following a pair of losses to Whitman County rivals Garfield-Palouse and Oakesdale.
The Lady Nighthawks pummeled the Lady Pirates with a 21-point second half to edge the team 31-20 in the league counter. Lucy Hockett lifted her team with 13 game-high points. Isabella Field was Pomeroy's top scorer with six.
At Palouse, Gar-Pal's Flansberg poured in 27 points to lift the team over Pomeroy 61-36.
"We battled the best team in our league tonight," commented Head Coach Brian Koller of the loss to Gar-Pal, "but just slowly let them pull away." Koller expressed pride in the Lady Pirates' effort. "Tough place to play against one of the best teams in the state."
