Blooming Prairie Awesome Blossoms girls basketball team holds off second half rally to down Triton 44-40 Tuesday evening

The Blooming Prairie Awesome Blossoms girls basketball team was looking to get back on the winning track at home Tuesday evening as they played host to the Triton Cobras in a Gopher Conference matchup, and in a game that saw the Cobras almost come all the way back from a 30-15 halftime deficit, the Blossoms were able to ultimately hold off the rally in a 44-40 win.

The Blossoms had three players in double figures, led by Addison Doocy and Macy Lembke, who both tallied 12 points apiece, with Lembke draining three of BP’s four 3-pointers in the game, guard Shawntee Snyder added 11 points, Ella Smith tallied four points, Claire Schwarz hit a 3-pointer for three points, and Catelyn Bartlett added two points in the win.

The Awesome Blossoms are now 9-2 overall on the season and 6-2 in the Gopher Conference, and Blooming Prairie returns to action at home Thursday night versus Pine Island out of the Hiawatha Valley League, with the varsity tip-off scheduled for 7:15 pm.  You’ll hear the game live on AM 1480 KAUS, with the pre-game show getting underway at 7:00 pm.
