The Calvary Lutheran Lady Lions were having flashbacks to last year’s district tournament. Calvary opened the 2021-22 postseason against the Climax Springs Lady Cougars in a Class 1 District 8 contest, dropping an 87-51 decision. “They had a girl who shot all kinds of stuff on us in districts,” Calvary coach Ty Morris said. “She graduated, we thought we might get a little break.” Nope. The Lady Cougars hit their first three 3-point attempts Thursday night on their way to a 55-37 victory against the Lady Lions at Calvary Lutheran High School.
The offense wasn’t always there Tuesday night for the St. Elizabeth Lady Hornets. But, as it has been all season, their defense traveled with them. For the 15th time this season, St. Elizabeth held its opponent to less than 40 points. The offense showed up late in the first half, as the Lady Hornets cruised to a 67-36 victory against the Climax Springs Lady Cougars in the semifinals of the Class 1 District 8 Tournament at Blair Oaks High School.
