There are certain nights in sports where you just needed to be there to fully appreciate the moment, and Tuesday was one of those nights for the Alliance Bulldogs girls' basketball team as they outlasted Chadron 55-48 on Senior Night.
Alliance proved once again why they are one of the toughest places to win on the road in Western Nebraska, especially on Senior Night as the Bulldogs started off fast and never left their foot off of the gas in the win.
The game was back and forth though, as both teams exchanged proverbial punches during the game. Alliance played their best offensive game of the season by scoring 55 points as season high for the Bulldogs. Macey Seebohm had a huge offensive scoring output, with 23 points unofficially. The big key was their balance offensively with Jaelynne Clarke, Ciara Hudson Haylie Winter Addi Weber and Regan Braun all making big plays offensively in key moments.
Chadron trailed for most of the game, but they showed there toughness too as Demi Ferguson shined for the Cardinals offensively. The Bulldogs did do a good job of limiting Taverra Sayaloune who was limited to under ten points after scoring 23 last Monday against Alliance in Chadron.
The win for the Bulldogs puts them in a much better position to make a push, earning a key win over a team with a winning record that helps them get more points in the RPI rankings. With a 7-11 record, Alliance now faces Scottsbluff on Friday with coverage on KCOW.
