The Lady Bearcats defeated Hoisington 41-24 Monday in the first round of the 3A Russell sub-State tournament in a game played at Ellsworth. The Lady ‘Cats were seeded third and due to their 15-5 season record, had home court advantage in the first round.

The Lady ‘Cats scored the first bucket of the game and battled to a 10-5 lead at the end of the first quarter by playing a solid brand of team basketball. Ellsworth scored 10 points and the Lady Cardinals scored eight in the second stanza to make it a 20-13 ballgame at the halftime buzzer.
