The Keota Eagle boys and girls basketball teams made a business trip to Belle Plaine Tuesday, coming back with a SICL Sweep of the Plainswomen and Men. The Eagle girls took a 46-17 win. Keota started fast, up 12-4 after one quarter, but put the game on ice with a 20-4 sprint that lasted the entire second stanza, leading 32-8 at the break. Keota controlled things in the second half coasting home by outscoring Belle Plaine 14-9 after intermission. The Keota girls are now 1-3 on the season.

The boys contest was an 81-25 rout. The Eagles led 20-6 after one and outscored Belle Plaine 26-8 in the second to take a 46-14 lead into half. A 21-5 run that spanned the full third quarter put things out of reach, and the Eagles made sure, outscoring the Plainsmen 14-6 in the final period. Keota shot 53% from the floor and knocked down 11 threes. They were +16 on the glass, had 19 assists and 17 steals. Thirteen different Eagles scored in the game, led by 17 for Sawyer Stout. Cole Kindred posted 14 points. The Keota boys are now 1-0 on the year. The Keota boys and girls are both in action Friday when they host rival Sigourney.
