Thursday February 15, the Girls JV Basketball team hosted Cass Tech in a re-match of 2/6 where Cass Tech earned a 43-35 win.  After a flat game earlier in the week vs South Lyon, Lakeland came out with something to prove in the first quarter.  Anna Linen scored 8 of her game high 13 points and a stifling Eagles defense allowed the home team to jump out to an 11-0 lead after one quarter.  The Eagles continued to roll to start the second quarter with Alyssa Goldman caping a 17-0 run with a layup at the 5:18 mark.  Cass Tech hit a three-point jumper at 4:51 and put on a 5-0 run to close out the half cutting Lakelands lead to 23-11 at the break.  The Technicians kept the momentum going in the third quarter outscoring Lakeland 14-4.  The 19-4 run pulled Cass Tech within 2 points entering the fourth quarter (27-25).  Both teams played hard in the last quarter with Cass Tech pulling within one point several times.  Lakeland however, was unwilling to give up the lead holding Cass Tech scoreless for the last 4:33 of the game.  Haley Aberlich sealed the game with the only points in the last four minutes – a Layup and a free throw with 0.07 remaining.  Five eagles scored: Anna Linen (13), Haley Aberlich (11), Alyssa Goldman (7), Morgan Dial (2), Claire Linen (2).   

Another well-played game between these two teams who split the season series 1-1. 

Lakeland Improves to  14-4.  10-1 in conference.
