Bombers struggle to 33-32 victory over Mount Sentinel
By The Nelson Daily Sports
The L.V. Rogers survived a lackluster performance to edge the Mount Sentinel Wildcats 33-32 in West Kootenay High School Girl’s Basketball action Thursday in South Slocan.
The win was the second in as many games for the Bombers after starting the season 0-4.
Starting slowly with a handful of players riding the pine due to disciplinary reasons, the Bombers had the hands full against the pesky Cats.
LVR led 22-20 at halftime before running into a scoring drought in the third quarter, scoring a single basket.
In the end the Bombers had just enough to hold off the Cats. Senior forward Samantha Einarson led the Bombers in scoring for the second game in a row with 17 points.
LVR ran into foul trouble with senior Kiandra McLaren and rookie guard Kyley Mirva spending time on the bench.
The Bombers return to action Monday, December 26 for the annual LVR Alumni Game. Game time has not been determined.
Earlier in the day is the LVR Boy’s Alumni Tournament. The tournament begins at noon at the Hangar.
