A rough shooting night doomed the girls of Harris-Lake Park in a non-conference matchup at Emmetsburg Monday night, scoring five points or less in every quarter on their way to a lopsided 50-17 defeat. Noreen Morrow dropped in all but five of the Lady Wolves’ points, finishing with twelve. The Naig sisters combined for 26 points to pace the E-Hawks, with Alexa scoring 14 points and Paige twelve. Emmetsburg did their part defensively, created 21 turnovers by HLP, while only committing eight miscues themselves. HLP is off until Friday when North Sentral Kossuth/Armstrong-Ringsted comes to Lake Park. The Wolves are 3-3 this season. Emmetsburg, at 4-1, hosts rival Spencer tonight for a key showdown in the Lakes Conference, which can be heard on Y100.

The Pioneers will put their 3-4 record on the line Friday against Rock Valley. That contest can be heard on Q102.
