Shayla Meyer (30) goes to the basket as Atlee Kobza (10) anticipates a rebound for Superior during last Thursday's season opening game against Sutton at Superior.
It was a disappointing outcome for the Superior High School girls basketball team as they made their debut under the guidance of new head coach Jake Nannen. Nannen, a fifth grade teacher at Superior Elementary School, took over the reins from Jim Sullivan, who stepped down after the conclusion of last season.
Nannen and his team opened with the traditional girls only game against Sutton at the Superior High School gymnasium. The Wildcats were on the short end of the 50-32 score.
Both teams were competitive through three quarters. Superior trailed 19-11 at the halfway mark. They nibbled away and trailed 29 -24 after three periods. An offensive and defensive collapse in the fourth quarter sealed their fate. The Mustangs put 21 points on the score board while Superior mustered eight to leave the floor with a 50-32 loss.
The Wildcats were scheduled to play Republic County at Belleville, Saturday, but COVID-19 issues led the cancellation of the game.
The Wildcats traveled to Fairbury, Tuesday, for a game against the Jeffs with game results unavailable at press time.
Shayla Meyer led the Wildcat scoring charge with 16 points. Sierra Blackburn donated seven points to the cause. Ella Gardner dropped through five points. Laci Kirchhoff contributed four points.
Meyer nabbed nine rebounds. Blackburn pulled away six rebounds. Atlee Kobza nabbed four rebounds. Gardner grabbed two rebounds.
Superior hosts the Blue Hill Bobcats at the high school gymnasium today (Thursday). The Wilber-Clatonia Wolverines visit Superior Saturday.
