(Harlan, IA) — For the first time in 6 seasons, Harlan’s girls basketball team did not win more games than they lost finishing 9-14. Head Coach Zach Klassen says its always tough when you are not winning and it can make for a long season but he says the girls never quit and the effort was always there. Klassen says things started on the wrong foot playing some tough teams in their first two games
Two players averaged in double figures for the Cyclones — Junior Kenzley Bruck led the way with 12.5 ppg while Junior Brinley Van Baale took over the point guard and averaged 10.5 ppg and Klassen says she improved
Harlan will also return Junior starter Avery Manz (5.9 ppg) plus Juniors Taylor Heese and Aubree Wegner who came off the bench and Klassen says there is some promising talent at the JV level
The Cyclones lose three seniors — starters Kaitlyn Koesters and Addison Wicks plus Lauren Schmitz.
