Girls fall, too
Kettle Moraine's varsity girls basketball team lost a Classic 8 Conference game at Waukesha Catholic Memorial on Friday, 48-41.
The Crusaders led at the half, 24-23.
Linley Achtenhagen scored 10 points to lead the Lasers (2-9 overall, 2-5 in Classic 8). Olivia Weber had eight rebounds, and Chloe Tompkins had six.
"We turned the ball over three times in the fourth quarter in a row in critical situations and they capitalized each time," KM head girls basketball coach JoEllen Dickert-Sturtz said. "I continue to be optimistic about this team. They've maintained positive attitudes, and I don't see fear with any of them."
