Streaks Roll to 133 56 Victory Over Lyndon
Chadwick’s Silver Streaks opened their district tournament with a 133 to 56 win over Lyndon as Mechling stepped in for injured Emnyre. Keith Zumdahl and Arlyn Larson led the scoring with multiple double figure totals, while Lyndon trailed at every quarter and foul trouble limited their offense. The win advances Chadwick to face the Kannon Thomson winner in Friday’s final and could send them to the regional at Prophetstown against Savanna. Grace Hook relocates to Fulton, Illinois.
