Lindsay Temme hard to the hoop
That may or may not have been the case for the Boone Central girls basketball team last week.
While the Lady Cardinals were happy to add two more wins to their season total, they were also disappointed by their first loss of 2009-10.
After runaway victories over O’Neill and Madison, Boone Central was defeated at West Point Central Catholic Saturday in a Mid-State Conference battle between the #3 ranked teams in Classes C1 and C2 (Omaha World-Herald).
“This was a disappointing result for us,” acknowledged Boone Central Coach Mike Kennedy. “We need to regroup and get ready for a tough Scotus team that has played a very difficult schedule to this point.” Read more

Lady Cards prepared to fly
First of all, about that Global Warming stuff? Way overated.
We did find one thing that could slow down the undefeated Boone Central girls basketball team, at least momentarily, last week - ‘Ol Man Winter.
The Lady Cardinals unblemished record is intact and they are still ranked #3 in Class C1 by the Omaha World-Herald, so the effects of last week’s postponements weren’t tangible in that regard.
