The Manitowoc Lutheran Girls’ basketball team jumps five spots from eighth to third in this week’s Division Four wissports.net girls’ basketball coach’s poll.
The Lancers of Head Coach Mike Behnke posted wins last week over previous unbeaten St. Mary Catholic and Kewaunee.
Manitowoc Lutheran has succeeded through the first quarter of the season, thanks to balanced scoring on offense and, at times, a suffocating 1-3-1 zone defense that forces tempo and multiple turnovers, leading to easy baskets on the offensive end.
The 6 and 0 Lancers hit the road for two games this week.
They’ll meet the Tigers at Howards Grove on Thursday at 7:15 p.m., then travel to Sevastopol on Saturday night to meet the Pioneers.
