WAUSA — For some, Monday’s boys subdistrict contest could not get over fast enough and bring an end to a disappointing season. For others, the game clock moved too quickly, as it meant the end of another basketball season.
Regardless, the Laurel-Concord/Coleridge Boys’ basketball team left it all out on the Wausa hardcourt Monday night. Although they eventually lost 63-49, the Bears’ put forth a solid effort. The fans gave them a strong final appreciation through the game, even though the season had gone anything but as planned.

WAUSA — What began as a very close game through the first half slowly morphed into a difficult season-ending loss for the Laurel-Concord/Coleridge Girls’ basketball team. Last Thursday, the Lady Bears faced the Crofton Lady Warriors in the Class C2-9 Subdistrict Final and lost 47-33.
LCC knew they would have an uphill battle against Crofton. Crofton was rated #8 in Class C2 in the Feb. 13, Lincoln Journal Star poll.
Crofton had only lost four games through their season. Top-rated Class C1 Boone Central, Class C2 and #2 rated Lutheran High NE, and most recently Class C1 and #3 rated Norfolk Catholic all posted wins against the Lady Warriors.
The fourth loss came at the hands of the Lady Bears. LCC got an early season win against the Lady Warriors. However, they say it is harder to beat a team multiple times in the same season.

WAUSA — The third and final act in the 2011-12 saga between Laurel-Concord/Coleridge and Cedar Catholic was just as riveting as the first two installments.
Even though it was Valentine’s Day, there was little love between the Lady Bears and the Lady Trojans as LCC held on to win 45-44.
“Going into this game I thought we were well prepared,” Cedar Catholic Coach Jason Folkers said. “The girls learned a new offense in a couple of days and I felt we executed it well.”
As with the other games of the season series between these two teams, neither could get a definitive upper hand and maintain a lead.
