Nebraska Women's Basketball


Nebraska Junior, Emily Cady from Seward is pictured leading the Cornhuskers to a 62-48 win over Alabama last night in Lincoln at the new Pinnacle Bank Arena. She was 4 for 7 from the field and 10-10 from the free throw line for a total of 19 points. Freshman Hannah Tvrdy, also from Seward, was in for 18 minutes of the game and contributed 4 points along with several assists from her guard position. There is a large contingent from Seward that has season tickets to see the girls play. All-American Senior Jordan Hooper normally leads the Nebraska scoring, but she had a slow night and Emily picked up the slack. I hope to get down to see the girls play sometime this winter after having hardly ever missing a home game when they were here in HS. Seward won 3 consecutive State Class B Championships during the years they were here,  and at one time had a winning streak of over 100 games. It was a dynasty that comes along only once in a lifetime but we enjoyed it to the fullest. While I don't expect anything comparable from the Nebraska team, they are a force to be reckoned with this year.
