The Mullen Lady Broncos were crowned champions of the 2019 MNAC basketball tournament Saturday following a 36-25 victory over South Loup in the girls championship game. Mullen used a stifling defensive effort to hold South Loup to just 6 points in first half to build a 15 point halftime lead. The Lady Bobcats would fight back in the 2nd half but Mullen was able to hold off South Loup in their comeback effort as the Lady Broncos held on for the 11 point victory. Mullen was led by Samantha Moore who scored a game high 15 points. Alysen Daniels also finished in double figures for the Broncos with 11. South Loup was led by Jessie Sallach who finished with a team high 10.
The girls consolation game between Anselmo-Merna and Cody-Kilgore was postponed due to weather concerns for Cody-Kilgore. The game has been rescheduled for Monday at 4pm at Anselmo-Merna high school. The game will be broadcast on KBBN 95.3 FM and on kbbn.com
