PLATTSMOUTH- The Plattsmouth Blue Devils hosted the Syracuse Rockets this week for a basketball doubleheader.

Both teams came into the match-up well rested, with more than a week removed from games (due to weather cancellations).

The girls game tipped off first, and Syracuse jumped out to an early 20-4 lead after the first quarter. The lady Rockets put the pressure on the Blue Devils with their stifling full court press. Syracuse capitalized on the turnovers and it resulted in transitions baskets. 

Syracuse senior Lily Vollertson led all scorers at halftime with ten points, as the lady Rockets dominated the first half and led 37-9.

Plattsmouth's offense came alive in the second half, with senior Lyndsey Caba. Caba scored all nine of her points in the second half, but the deficit was too much to overcome. Syracuse cruised to a 57-26 win in the opening match-up.

Vollertson ended with 13 points, junior Kaylee Bures finished with 13 points, and junior Delainey Cast scored 11 points for Syracuse.

The second game of the doubleheader featured a close first quarter. Both Plattsmouth and Syracuse traded baskets—Plattsmouth from long range, with Syracuse scoring in the paint.

Plattsmouth senior Jude Wehrbein opened the game with back to back three pointers for the Blue Devils. 

The Blue Devils led by three headed into the second quarter, 13-10, and extended their lead to double digits at the half, 35-24.

The senior duo of Wehrbein and Sam Campin combined for 40 of the 64 total points for Plattsmouth. Campin caught fire from beyond the arc in the second half. Campin drained five of his eight attempts, including a banked three pointer and a shoulder shrug to head coach Kevin Tilson to end the third quarter. 

Plattsmouth closed out the fourth quarter to win 64-44 at home to improve to 5-7 on the season. 

Wehrbein ended with 23 points, while going 8-9 at the line. Campin finished with 17 points. Plattsmouth senior Kevin Winscott tallied seven points, six rebounds, and three assists in the contest.
