We got to play a very good team and it will definitely help us down the road. We are starting to play good basketball against good teams."

Altamont held a one point lead at halftime then had a 13-8 third period run to lead 40-34 going into the final quarter. South Central mounted a furious rally with a 16-12 run only to fall a basket short, 52-50 in National Trail Conference play.

South Central was led by Hahn with 20 and Sigrist with 12. The Cougars drop to 1-3 in the conference, 5-10 overalll.

"The girls battled tonight but we could not get a few things to go our way at the end of the game," said South Central Coach Kapper. "We were down by six at the end of the third quarter and came out on a 13-2 run to go up by five at the start of the fourth quarter. We had the momentum but Altamont hit some big shots and made stops when they had to.

"We have been in some close games at the end, but not one where two teams are trading the lead on each possession and the pressure just keeps getting bigger. Yes we wanted to win, but being in this type of game will help us to be better prepared the next time it happens. We had more balanced scoring putting three girls in double figures which is what we need to have. We will learn from this and work to improve."
