It was a good run, but the Kellis Cougars unfortunately witnessed the end of their five-game winning streak on Wednesday. They fell to Willow Canyon 55-51.

When it comes to explaining why Kellis lost, one person who can't be blamed is Nevaeh Limbacher. Despite the final result, she dropped a double-double on 21 points and 14 rebounds.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Kellis will be home for the holidays to greet Centennial at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Hopefully Centennial focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 15 on Tuesday. Willow Canyon won't have much time to rest: their next contest is against Desert Mountain at 7:00 p.m. on December 21st. Desert Mountain will have to bring their A-game into this one, as they are staring down a pretty big deficit in the MaxPreps Arizona Rankings (they are ranked 217th, while Willow Canyon is ranked 93rd).
