The Wildcats spurted out to an early lead but were unable to retain their momentum. After leading 12-11 at the end of the first quarter, Superior began to slide behind the Warriors. Crofton kept up the pressure and finished off the Wildcats. Superior kept attempting to close the gap late in the game but was unsuccessful. The resulting loss eliminated the Wildcats from post-season play.
Shayla Meyer led the Superior offense in her final game as a Wildcats basketball player with 22 points. Ella Gardner put up nine points. Laci Kirchhoff kicked in five points. Teegan Duncan netted three points. Sadie Cornell finished the game with two points.
Meyer picked off six rebounds for Superior. Gardner and Kirchhoff landed two rebounds apiece. Halle Bargen, Faith Butler, Cornell and Duncan contributed one rebound each.
For Emma Henderson and Meyer, it was the final game of the high school career. The two seniors will now concentrate on track season .
