Kaneland Lady Knight Kelly Evers goes skyward during a Summer League battle with Hinckley-Big Rock on Thursday.

Kaneland High School 2006 graduate Lyndsie Long of Sugar Grove made Elmhurst College women’s basketball history on Tuesday night, becoming the school’s all-time leading scorer.

With the regular season entering its homestretch, the Lady Knights basketball team fell to Western Sun Conference rivals Sycamore on Saturday and Yorkville on Friday.

Lady Knights basketball looked like it was headed for more of the same at Burlington Central, but came out with an extraordinary win.

OSWEGO—Kaneland girls basketball got off to a less than desirable start to its first-round matchup, and thus the Oswego East Holiday Classic, but found a win vs. Joliet on Monday before losing to Plainfield Central on Tuesday.

On Dec. 16, the sophomore Lady Knights took to the floor against Elgin at Burlington Central and came away with a 54-19 win.

MAPLE PARK—Kaneland girls basketball had a tough task ahead of it on Friday night in Maple Park with an improved Yorkville squad.

The Knights fell to 2-8 and 0-3 in Western Sun Conference play with a tough week vs. Glenbard South, DeKalb and host Rochelle.

The Lady Knights basketball squad would rather take the first half of their tournament at Immaculate Conception Hiigh School in Elmhurst during Thanksgiving week.

Lady Knight Emily Heimerdinger is still alive in the IHSA Three-Point Showdown, having lasted through Tuesday. Heimerdinger, along with Hampshire’s Gianina Estocado, Jessie Van Dorin and Christine Schumacher, goes to the regional final on Thursday with players from Burlington Central and Sycamore.
