Before hosting and defeating Aitkin last Friday, the Rush City girls basketball team traveled to Braham and fell to the #4 state-ranked Bombers who by doing so also ruined the Tigers’ perfect conference record.
Rush City put up a valiant fight in the brutal game against the physical Braham, but the girls could not overcome the turnovers and tough Bomber defense. The Tigers were outscored by the Bombers 44-17 by the end of the first half, and in the end fell 63-42.
But the Lady Tigers bounced back quickly after the loss and put together a strong showing defensively and offensively against the Gobblers. Though Rush City started out slow in the first half of that game, due to some full-court pressure, they held Aitkin to 15 points in the second half and earned a convincing 63-42 victory.
