The Sigourney Savages suffered a pair of setbacks Tuesday night, dropping both their conference basketball games in a doubleheader at Lynnville-Sully. The Sigourney girls led a defensive slugfest 13-9 at halftime, but they would see that turn into a one-point deficit going into the final period, and even as their offense finally got going, they would fall by that margin in a 29-28 defeat. Junior Carly Goodwin led the Savages with eight points, four steals and two blocked shots, while senior Zoe Webb finished with seven points, five rebounds and three steals, but Sigourney still falls to 4-4 in the South Iowa Cedar League and 6-6 overall.

The Savage boys trailed by nine at the end of the first quarter, 19-10, but that deficit would explode to 20 points at halftime, and Sigourney would never recover in an 81-46 loss. The Savage boys are also 4-4 in conference play and drop to 6-5 overall. Sigourney boys’ basketball will next take on Colfax-Mingo on Friday night, while the girls are off until Saturday.
