The Knights (16-4, 13-1 Skyline Conference) wrapped up the conference title two games ago but were reminded by coach Byron Robertson of the importance of a momentum-gaining win to end the regular season. Elaina Renius had 21 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks and the Knights held a double-digit lead most of the way in a 62-48 victory over Lakeview. "We’ve gone two-and-out the last two years (in the Class 3A state playoffs)," said Robertson. "It’d be nice to get a win there. "I thought tonight we came out and played well even though there wasn’t much on the line."
