Waukon girls basketball team’s split on back-to-back nights includes another double OT loss, 57-53, and NEIC-opening win at Crestwood

A busy latter part of this past week ended up resulting in a split of two games for the Waukon girls basketball team, and was just a point away from being a sweep. After being idle from competition for more than a week’s time - having not played since consecutive nights dating back to the final week of November, the Lady Indians played another pair of back-to-back nights of basketball to end this past week. Those most recent consecutive nights of competition included a 57-53 loss at home to Caledonia, MN in the Tribe’s second double overtime game so far this season Thursday, December 8, followed by a 49-36 win at Crestwood that opened the Waukon girls’ Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) season Friday, December 9.

The Lady Indians were next scheduled to host New Hampton in an NEIC girl/boy match-up Tuesday, December 13 before doing likewise with Waverly-Shell Rock Friday, December 16 and then playing Dubuque Hempstead at Upper Iowa University in Fayette Saturday, December 17. The Tribe will then play back-to-back nights of competition to wrap up its pre-holiday schedule, traveling to Spring Grove, MN Monday, December 19 before playing at Decorah Tuesday, December 20 in another in an NEIC girl/boy match-up.
