After trailing 10-0 to open the contest, Byron-Bergen rallied to within three points of the lead twice and two-points midway through the third quarter before eventually dropping a 58-41 to undefeated Batavia Notre-Dame in girls basketball.
Sam Futter led a second quarter rally with seven points and Lyndsay Lovett added five as the Bees cut the lead down to three late in the first half.
Kristen Hohn took over in the third quarter six points, including a free throw with 4:38 remaining in the third to cut the lead down to two, but that’s the closest the Bees would get in being outscored 23-8 from that point forward.
Futter led all Bees with 12 points with Abbie Kelley adding 11. Hohn finished with eight and Lovett had seven. Notre Dame’s Melanie Taylor led all scorers with 28 points.
