Despite strong defense from the girls and a double-double for one of the boys, the Elkhorn Valley basketball teams both took losses when they hosted Chambers/Wheeler Central.

In the girls game, Elkhorn Valley held the Renegades to just 28 percent shooting from the floor and allowed just one player to score more than seven points. Unfortunately, they were only able to find the bottom of the basket on 18 percent of their shots as they fell 38-29. 

Alyssa Rood was the only Falcon to shoot for better than 50 percent from the floor, tying for the team high in points with eight on four of seven shooting. Hannah Ollendick added eight points as well on two of 17 shooting.

Rood also led the Falcons in rebounds with nine while Ollendick pulled in eight. Liz Osborn and Sierra Rystrom each accounted for six rebounds on the night.

In the boys game, the Falcons gave up 25 turnovers to the Renegades and were unable to keep up in the 60-40 loss. 

Junior Brayden Effle led the Falcons with an impressive performance, posting a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Austin Miller and Tucker Hecht each dropped in eight points for Elkhorn Valley.
