The Elkhorn Valley girl's basketball season came to an end in the D1-5 subdistrict final in Battle Creek on Thursday night.

The #2 Lady Falcons fell to #1 Randolph, 48-32, and ended their season with a 17-7 record. EV struggled to get their offense going early in the game and fell back, 14-5, at the end of the first quarter. Randolph started firing even hotter in the second quarter and took a 20-point lead heading into the half. The deficit proved to be too much to overcome in the final half and the Cardinals advanced to the district final. Randolph will play North Central on Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. in Niobrara.

Amber Miller led the way for the Lady Falcons with 15 points, followed by Olivia Nall and Hannah Ollendick with 5 apiece; Jasmine Wiese and Karissa Evans with 2; and Ashleigh Nelson and Brianna Werner with 1 each.
