After a great 9-0 start to their season, the Lady Cubs headed to Rockford to take on the Rockets. After leading the majority of 
the game, the Cubs found themselves down by 1 with less than 10 seconds left of the game, and the ball in the Cubs’ hands. They were able to drive the ball down and get a great shot off before the buzzer only to find themselves defeated for the first game of the season. Although there was obvious disappointment in their first loss of the season, the Lady Cubs played their hearts out and had no reason to hang their heads. Leading the team with scoring was Taylor Schreiner with 10, Lauren Libbesmeier and Ariel Laabs with 6 each. Denzel Atherton and Amanda Roerick rounded out the scoring with 4 and 2 points respectively.

Cubs advance in playoffs, defeat Rockets
The Kimball Cubs traveled to Rockford to take on the Rockets last Thursday night, March 7, in a first-round section 5AA playoff game. Two weeks earlier the Cubs defeated the Rockets 60-43 to even their head-to-head record on the year. It was the sixth time in the past seven years that the Cubs opened the playoffs on the road. Kimball’s last playoff win was a 2011 victory over Legacy Christian Academy.
The Cubs jumped out to an early lead on the strength of their outside shooting. Rockford tied the score at 14-14 with seven minutes to play in the first half. The scoring pace picked up a bit over the last minutes of the half with each team leading, but not by more than two possessions. A late three by Rockford gave them a four-point edge at the break (32-28). Kimball shot 54 percent (7/13) from three-point range in the first half, to keep the game close.
