Sebeka pulled a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde performance en route to upsetting top-seeded Bertha-Hewitt 63-55 in the West Subsection 5A title game Tuesday in Wadena.

Bertha-Hewitt was pretty much in control of the game in the first half, until the second-seeded Lady Trojans made a run just before halftime to trim the Lady Bears’ lead down to six, 36-30.

Jessica Lillquist accounted for half of the Lady Trojans’ first-half points. The sophomore tallied 16 points while senior Betsy Olson was limited to just eight points in the span.

The fifth-ranked Parkers Prairie Lady Panthers drained nine shots from beyond the arc to shoot down Sebeka 80-64 during the non-conference game Thursday.

University of Minnesota-bound Sari Noga erupted for 20 of her game-high 32 points in the second half. Freshman Madison Dorn knocked down a team-high four three-pointers for 18 points and Kaylee Dorn had 10 for the Lady Panthers.

Leave it to Sebeka to muddle up the Park Region Conference race with the surprising 51-48 victory over fifth-ranked Bertha-Hewitt on Friday.

With the win, the Lady Trojans inserted themselves in the thick of the conference standings and have a chance to do more damage when current leader New York Mills invades the Sebeka home court on Monday, March 1 in the regular season finale.

But first, Sebeka had to get past the Lady Bears, a team that trounced them back in January by a score of 73-40.
