Northmor then played at Lucas on Monday and fell in that non-conference contest. In their 55-44 loss, the Golden Knights led 11-10 after the first quarter and were within an 18-17 margin at the half, but were outscored 22-16 to fall behind by seven going into the final period.

Cardington Pirates
Offensive struggles in the middle two quarters cost Cardington on Monday when they fell at home to Ridgedale by a 47-39 margin.
Cardington led 9-8 after eight minutes of action, but was outscored 11-2 in the second period and 14-6 in the third, as the Rockets went in front by a 33-17 score. While the Pirates held a 22-14 advantage in the fourth, they were unable to make up that deficit.
