In the second quarter Summit took leads of 10-6 and 14-9 only to have Highland finish the half with a 0-7 run to take a 14-16 lead.

Vs. Nezperce
The Summit girls seem to have a little bit of magic on their side when they play Nezperce in the Nezperce gym and they almost pulled out another win Monday.
Summit led for most of the first 3 quarters but they suddenly went ice-cold in the fourth quarter and Nezperce was able to come from behind.
Nezperce led early on at 0-2 and 3-4 but a putback by Abi Chmelik put Summit ahead with 3:45 left in the first quarter and Rehder and Seubert each added baskets to Rachel Waters scores against Nezperce. Megan Seubert is shown in the background.give the Patriots a 9-4 lead at the end of the quarter.
A basket by Waters put Summit up 13-6 with 1:37 left in the half and broke a near 4 minute scoring drought by both teams.

The Indians opened the second half with a basket to pull within 1 and then took the lead at the 3:35 mark 15-16.
That lead didn’t even last 10 seconds though as Sarah Chmelik quickly scored for Summit and Abi Chmelik added a free throw to make it 18-16.
Nezperce tied it at 18 but a basket by Jolene Chmelik on one of those plays that just seem to happen for Summit at Nezperce put Summit back into the lead. The ball was being batted around and Rehder reached for the ball and wound up knocking it right to Jolene who was standing to the left of the hoop and made an easy lay-up.
Sarah Chmelik added another driving lay-up to close out the quarter with Summit up 22-18.
Summit wouldn’t score again until the 1:15 mark of the fourth quarter as they struggled to get the ball past Nezperce’s full-court press and when they did the shots wouldn’t fall.
Nezperce meanwhile scored 8 straight points to take a 22-26 lead.
Summit finally broke the drought when Seubert scored to cut the lead in half.
She then had a chance to tie it at the free throw line but made only the second shot to cut the lead to 25-26 with 17 seconds left.
Summit then fouled Kamas Carpenter in an attempt to get the ball back and Carpenter made only the first of 2 free throws.
With 5.5 seconds remaining Abi Chmelik got fouled and swished the first free throw but missed the second and Nezperce rebounded.
There was some drama packed into those final seconds but Nezperce was able to hold on for the win.
Seubert wound up with 7 points to lead Summit in scoring. Abi Chmelik scored 6, Sarah Chmelik 5, Rehder 4 and Waters and Jolene Chmelik 2 each.
Summit had a 40-28 rebounding advantage led by Sarah Chmelik with 16 while Rehder had 11.
Sarah Chmelik had 5 steals while Abi Chmelik had 4.
Summit was 10 for 39 from the field, 26%, and 6 for 13 at the line, 46%. Nezperce was 10 for 40 from the field, 25%, and 7 for 12 at the line, 58%.
With the 3 losses Summit drops to 1-8 in league play and 6-11 overall. Their game at Timberline Tuesday would determine whether they are the 5th or 6th seed into District. If they won they will play 4th seeded Highland at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29. If they lost they will play the #3 seed, likely Deary, at 7:30 p.m. that night.
