Flandreau hosted DeSmet on February 11 with the girls earning a win and the boys taking a one-point loss.
The Flier girls, 13-5, have two more regular season games. Tuesday, they were to be in Baltic for a doubleheader and then host West Central on Friday to close out the regular season.
The boys, now 9-8, have three games over the week to close out the season. Tuesday is the Baltic doubleheader, Friday they go face Elkton-Lake Benton in Elkton and then next Monday, they host Deubrook Area in the final home and regular season game of the year.
Regions for the girls begins on Monday, February 24. Currently the Flier girls are the top seed in Region 3A and should have a bye that night. Regional play continues on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
Flandreau 64, DeSmet 41
The Fliers held the Bulldogs to 31 percent field goal shooting while firing in 53 percent.
"We had a season-high in assists (19), and a big reason for that is that we finished well around the rim," said Head Coach Megan Severtson.
"Our defense made things difficult for DeSmet in the second half and we were able to extend our lead in the third quarter."
Topping the Flier scoring was Sadie Iott with 16 points and Morgan Sheppard put in 15.
DeSmet 46, Flandreau 45
Six foot nine inch Bulldog Gavin Wilkinson scored the first eight points of the game and the Flier boys couldn’t regroup enough taking a one-point loss, 46-45.
DeSmet led after one period 13-8 and 25-20 at the half. Flandreau cut the deficit to four after three quarters, 42-38. Neither team was hot from the field in the final quarter as the Bulldogs score seven and the Fliers, four. A late game Flier shot to get the win, failed.
"We made a nice run in the second half to get ourselves back in the game,” said Coach Sheppard.
