Local Sports: Kloster leads comeback for undefeated Ida girls
STOCKBRIDGE - Carrie Kloster scored a career-high 22 points as Ida's girls basketball team came from behind in the fourth quarter to knock off Homer 69-64 Friday in the semifinal round of the Stockbridge Christmas Tournament.
The 4-0 Blue Streaks were down by as many as 11 points in the first quarter.
"We took time-out, regrouped a little bit and got within two by the end of the quarter," reported coach Tim Leonard. "It was a seesaw, back-and-forth game the rest of the way."
Ida outscored the Panthers 20-13 in the fourth quarter with Alyssa Lassey and Kloster hitting key free throws in the final minutes.
Lassey had 16 points, Stephanie Horney added 10, Alexis Long scored 9 and freshman Cheyanne Horney had 4 steals.
"Everybody contributed," Leonard said. "Alexis Long played her best game of the season, Nicole Farrell hit a couple of 3's and Cheyanne Horney did a great job. It was a nice win for us."
Ida will face Stockbridge at 5 p.m. today for the tournament title.
