MOBRIDGE — Too many turnovers, and missing multiple shots in close in the final seconds cost the Sully Buttes Chargers a 47-44 loss to Faith in the SoDak Sixteen matchup in Mobridge Thursday night. The Chargers led 27-22 at the half, and 33-31 after three quarters, but turnovers and a quick Lady Longhorn defense made Sully Buttes pay.

Allyson Wittler added 11 points, and Lydia Hill added ten points. The Chargers finish the season at 18-5.
Faith ups it’s mark to 18-5, and moves on to the girls State Class B tournament next week in Watertown. The Lady Longhorns were led in scoring by Cassidy Schuelke, with 19, while fellow senior Kaycee Groves and Tyann Mortensen each added ten points.
