The Hornet girls came oh-so-close Friday night, leading 22-21 at intermission and trailing by just a single point after three quarters of play. The visiting Lions managed a 15-12 advantage during the final eight minutes to claim the road win.
A trio of Hornets managed double-figure scoring, paced by Kylie Rademacher’s 14 points. Kimmy Aubert and Sam Engebretsen chipped in with 10 each.
The loss dropped the EHS girls to 3-3 in SPSL 3A play and 7-8 overall. They traveled to Lakes Tuesday night and will finish against Peninsula, Decatur and Bonney Lake.
