Glenwood girls rout Harlan, win ninth straight

    The Glenwood girls basketball team got its first win in over a decade against Harlan and improved to 9-0 on the season with a 65-45 rout of the Cyclones last Tuesday.

    “We ere excited,” said Glenwood coach Barry Loeffelbein. “They’re always a good team and we wanted to play well and we did. This was a good win.”

    Loeffelbein wasn’t away it had been 12 years since the Rams had defeated the Cyclones - he thought it might have been longer.
    “I came here in 2000 and I knew we hadn’t beat them since then,” he said. “I knew it had been a while so it was good to break that streak for these girls.”
    Lexi Moreno led a balanced Glenwood scoring effort with 17 points. Morgan Lucy added 13 and Grace Newman 11. Lexi Fisher and McKenna Henze chipped in nine each.
