SENECA - It’s already been a tough season in many ways for the Seneca girls basketball team and it didn’t get much better last Saturday, Dec. 14 when the Indians hosted Kee High from Lansing, Iowa. When it was over, it was Lansing Kee High–49 and Seneca–35. 

Seneca senior guard Makenna Greene led the Indians in scoring with 19 points, while senior forward Savanna Wallin scored eight points.  Rounding out the scoring for Seneca were three freshmen–Grace Check had four points, while Kendra Chambers and Nirea Klema each scored two points.

“It was a very close game through the first half,” Seneca head coach Kim Redman explained. “We were down 19-22 at that half. We sustained another injury to junior forward Maxine Grover who didn't play the second half.  

“We currently have senior forward Murielle Grover out with a knee injury and this limited us in experience against Kee High,” Redman said. “We were outscored 27-16 in the second half.”
