Fort Sumner rallies by Logan girls

The Logan girls basketball team saw an early lead wither away during a 54-41 district loss Saturday at Fort Sumner.

The Lady Longhorns took a 15-11 lead in the first quarter and 21-19 in the second.

But the Vixens surged to a 29-24 advantage by halftime and expanded it to 44-27 late in the third period.

“Shots were not falling through,” Logan coach Dustin Robertson said. “We shot the basketball terribly. Part of that is, no doubt, because of Fort Sumner’s great defense.

“We had spurts in the game that we played really well. But we’ve got to cut out the low spots.”

Natalie Bongers and Hailee Robertson each scored 11 points to lead Logan, which fell to 14-10 overall and 2-3 in the district.

Fort Sumner, ranked seventh in Class 1A by MaxPreps.com, improved to 15-7, 3-2.
