Hemingford won both championships during the Panhandle Conference Basketball Tournament that concluded Friday evening at Chadron State College.

Led by 18 points by Kambree Walker and 13 by Catherine Bryner, the Hemingford girls topped Sioux County 52-33 that championship game, while the Bobcats’ boys got 18 points from Hunter Wyland and 15 from Rick Turek to slip past Morrill 57-52 in that title contest.  Hemingford won the boys’ game even though Morrill sank 10 three-pointers.

With Natalie Berry tallying 24 points, Crawford won the girls’ third place game Friday 55-41 over Edgemont, which got 18 points from Kaitlin Gerard, and Hay Springs defeated Edgemont 57-47 to take third place in the boys’ action. 

Both the Hawks and the Moguls had three double-figure scorers in the boys’ consolation contest.  Cass Frazer had 15 points, Logan DeCoste 14 and Gabe Varvel 13 for Hay Springs, while Kyran Urban led Edgemont with 18 points, all in the first half, and Kolton Darrow added 15 and Braden Peters 13.   

Morrill nipped Hay Springs 44-42 in the girls’ fifth place game, despite 21 points by the Hawks’ Sam Toof, and Crawford had 10 players score as it downed Sioux County 59-23 in the boys’ fifth place game.
