LA CROSSE — The Logan High School girls basketball team experienced a rough Tuesday but came back with a very positive Friday in a 67-37 MVC victory over Tomah at the Steve Hole Field House.
The Rangers (4-13, 1-7 MVC) snapped a three-game losing streak and won their first conference game of the season by establishing a season high for points in a game and receiving at least two from everyone who played.
Logan was three days removed from making four free throws and no field goals in a 61-point loss to Onalaska, but it used a 37-point first half to take a 19-point lead over the Timberwolves (3-13, 1-6). Tomah beat Logan 54-32 in the first meeting between the teams.
Senior Lydia Mason scored a team-high 18 points and had 13 of those in the first half. Senior Kaia DePaolo scored 13 points with six in the first half and seven in the second, and senior Kenna Streeck made a 3-pointer on her way to nine points.
