BROOKINGS – Huron scored the final eight points to defeat the Bobcats 48-41 in an Eastern South Dakota Conference girls’ basketball matchup Tuesday night at Bob Jostad Gymnasium.
Isabella Shreeve hit a jumper with 1:11 remaining to put the Tigers on top for good at 42-41.
Havyn Heinz, who dropped in a game-high 25 points, went 2-for-2 at the free-throw line with 49 seconds left and again with 20 seconds to play to help seal the deal.
Huron shot just 29.8 percent (17-of-57) from the field but forced 21 turnovers while committing six.
The Tigers were up 12-4 after a period and 28-16 at halftime. They scored first out of the break to grab a game-high 14-point advantage.
Brookings countered with nine consecutive points – Emily Rystrom bookended the run with a pair of buckets, while Johanna Miller had a putback and Kennedy Schafer converted from 3-point range – to pull within 30-25.
Later, a Landree Wilson trey cut the deficit to 32-30 heading to the fourth.
The Bobcats kept things going early in the final stanza as Wilson scored to knot things up.

Huron stopped the run with a spurt of its own.
Brooke Schiltz knocked down consecutive jumpers and Heinz canned a 3-ball as the visitors opened up a 39-32 gap with 5:45 showing on the clock.
Brookings had another answer, which began with Allie Clark making a 3 with 4:10 to play. Regan Weisbeck did the same with 2:41 left.
Following free throw by Huron’s Tenley Buddenhagen, Wilson connected from the right wing to give the home squad a 41-40 lead with 2:02 remaining.
The Bobcats retook possession with 96 seconds left but came up empty, leading to Shreeve’s go-ahead basket on the other end.
Johanna Miller posted a double-double of 10 points – on 5-of-9 shooting – and 12 rebounds for Brookings. Wilson had 11 points and five boards.
