The Cherryvale Lady Chargers’ season came to an end Saturday afternoon with a 58-38 loss to Rock Creek in the consolation game of the class 3A state tournament in Hutchinson.

Cherryvale finishes its season as the fourth-best team in class 3A and with a 19-7 record.

Poor shooting dominated Cherryvale’s game as the Lady Chargers trailed for the entire contest. Cherryvale hit only 30 percent of its field goal attempts (16 for 53), 20 percent of the three-point attempts (3 for 15) and 43 percent of the free throws (3 for 7). Meanwhile, Rock Creek appeared immovable as the team canned 51 percent of its shots from the field, 50 percent of its three pointers, and 60 percent of its charity shots.

The game was the finale for CHS seniors Kelsey Overacker, Alex Hugo, Sara Schwaninger, Megan Stewart and Abby Ezard.

More details of the Cherryvale team’s apperance in the state tournament will be printed in the March 19 edition of the Montgomery County Chronicle.
