NEW GLARUS - Ever since the second half of a 58-43 loss to Barneveld Jan. 28, the Glarner Knights have been stuck on the wrong Tom Petty tune.
Whereas for a while, Braden Rindy's gang was "Running Down a Dream," looking for a second straight outright Capitol South title, the group continued "Free Fallin'" Thursday night in a 52-24 loss to Cambridge.
"We must have missed 20 layups tonight," Rindy said.
Katie Ehlen led the Blue Jays with 21 points. The Glarner Knights have scored just 49 points in their last two games and must win Tuesday at Marshall to salvage a three-way tie for the league title.
Barneveld 64, Albany 33
The Comets found out the hard way what happens when opponents rattle the Eagles' cage.
Albany (8-10, 4-8 Six Rivers East) took a 12-9 lead at Barneveld (14-5, 9-3) Thursday night before the Eagles erupted over the next three frames for 55 points.
Brooke Allen led all scorers with 14 points while Chelsey Watkins added 13. Amy Golz scored nine points to lead Albany.
Black Hawk 47, Monticello 25
With a resounding defensive thud, the Warriors locked down a runner-up conference finish on the road Thursday night.
Black Hawk (15-2, 10-2 Six Rivers East) only yielded a single point in the second quarter to take a 15-9 halftime lead before putting things on ice in a 21-10 fourth quarter in Monticello (2-17, 1-11).
Sophomore Kim Wellnitz and junior Paige Butler tied for a game-high 13 points.
Pecatonica 58, Juda 32
The Vikings have the art of dominating the start of halves down pat.
In between 21-point quarters in the first and third, Vikings coach Josh Tarrell incorporated a number of different rotations from the norm to get some postseason prep in during Thursday's Six Rivers East road victory.
"Their third quarter defensive pressure was definitely much tougher, and even though Kimee Chandler played three quarters, she only had two points, because she got everyone involved," Juda coach Curt Brown said.
Pecatonica junior Elise Sigg led all scorers with 13 points while Larissa Klemm led Juda with nine.
Mineral Point 71, Darlington 36
Redbirds coach Kurt Cohen wants to put the first 12 minutes of Thursday night's landslide loss in a bottle.
"I was really happy that we came out the way we did tonight after coming out afraid to make mistakes at their place," Cohen said.
The Pointers trailed 18-17 midway through the second before outscoring Darlington 54-18 the rest of the way behind 16 points by Liz Lawinger.
