Home ›Kee boys basketball team has season ended with 56-50 District loss to Starmont
Having to wait a couple days to finally get its postseason underway due to winter weather delays, the Kee boys basketball team had its tournament trail cut short “under the Stars” Wednesday, February 13, as the Hawks fell to the Starmont Stars by a 56-50 final result in their Class 1A District 5 Tournament game played at MFL/MarMac High School in Monona. The game had been postponed from its originally scheduled Monday, February 11 date not just once, but twice, and that delay may have been what fueled Starmont junior guard Chris Baumgartner, as he erupted for a career-high 28 points to account for half the production of his 2-19 Stars’ team in the ballgame.
The loss wraps up the Hawks’ regular season with a 5-15 overall record, including a 3-12 mark in Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) play that placed the Kee boys seventh in the final nine-team UIC standings. Starmont’s win advanced them to a Thursday, February 14 District 5 quarterfinals tilt at Dunkerton, who promptly ended the Stars’ season with an 85-39 defeat.
