The Manitowoc Lutheran Girl’s 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, and Monday night, they defeated The Mishicot Indians, completing a perfect 3 and 0 homestand.
Manitowoc Lutheran has succeeded through the first quarter of the season by utilizing 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 be at Howards Grove to meet The Tigers Thursday at 7:15 p.m., then travel to Sevastopol Saturday night to meet The Pioneers.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
