Chadron had 3 players score in double figures as Ashley Kerr had a game-high 14, Peyton Hinn added 13, and Briley Hannaford chipped in with 10 as the Lady Cardinals improved to 11-1 on the year.

The boy’s game was close early on with Mitchell trailing only by four at the end of the first quarter 18 – 14, but Chadron had pulled away to a 14 point lead at the half 33-19 and cruised after intermission.

Spencer Eliason was outstanding with 27 points in leading Chadron to its second 20-plus point win over Mitchell this season. They beat the Tigers 69-46 back on December 1st and are now 5-6 overall.

Both the Chadron boys and girls now head to Alliance, playing the Bulldogs next Friday night, the 11th.
