Brownstown\/St. Elmo&#8217;s hopes of a berth in the Class 1A Arcola Super-Sectional came to a close Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The Bombers fell to Edwards County (Albion) in the championship game of the Wayne City Sectional by a 50-44 count.<\/p>\n<p>Edwards County came roaring out of the chute with a 13-9 opening quarter lead in the Class 1A Wayne City Girls Basketball Sectional Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions moved into a 10-0 lead before Brownstown\/St. Elmo could find the range as Madi Miller hit a basket.<\/p>\n<p>Alice Robb connected on a three-pointer while Grace Bishop and Lola Nussmeyer added five points each for the Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Dayana Haslett hit two baskets and a free throw to lead the Bombers with five points. Miller connected on a basket and Addie Sasse two free throws.<\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t take long for the Bombers to get over the nerves and get their scoring going.<\/p>\n<p>Miller connected on three baskets and two free throws for eight while Haslett hit three baskets for six and the Bombers had pulled within 25-24 at halftime. They had tied the score at 16-16 and 18-18 but a run by the Lions got them back on the upper side of the scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Nussmeyer was the power at the basket for the Lions with two more baskets and three free throws for seven.<\/p>\n<p>The Bombers came roaring out of the locker room after halftime to go on a 6-0 run to lead 30-25. That lead went to seven points as Danika Ramsey scored for a 32-25 lead.<\/p>\n<p>But, Edwards County wasn&#8217;t out of the game. The Lions cut the lead to 33-32 at the end of the third quarter on a 7-1 run.<\/p>\n<p>The lead stood at 35-34 with a little over seven minutes in the final period. The Lions then went on a 6-0 run and pushed into a 40-35 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Edwards County took advantage of a turnover to lead 43-35. But, once again, here came the Bombers as Ramsey connected on a layup and they were within 43-39. With a little over three minutes remaining in the contest, the Lions led 46-42 after Haslett was fouled and put in three free throws.<\/p>\n<p>BSE then had to foul to regain possession but the Lions put in their free throws to push their lead to 48-42. Williams hit a basket with over 20 seconds remaining to cut the lead to 48-44. But Edwards County connected on another free throw to lead 49-44.<\/p>\n<p>The Bombers put up several three point attempts but none fell in the final moments of the contest. Edwards County was fouled in the final seconds to hit a free throw for the 50-44 final.<\/p>\n<p>Haslett finished with 18 points to lead the Bombers while Miller chipped in with 14.<\/p>\n<p>Edwards County moves on to the Arcola Super-Sectional Monday to face Mount Pulaski in a 6 p.m. contest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class 1A Wayne City Sectional<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BROWNSTOWN\/ST.
