In March of 2016, Central Decatur's Lady Cardinals (Leon High School) advanced to the Iowa Girls' High School State Basketball tournament which played out on the court at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
The Lady Cardinals faced off against Western Central in first round Class 2A play.
The Lady Cardinals and Western Central met on Monday, February 29, 2016.
Hunter Smith cheers on The Lady Cardinals.
Lily Simon drives the ball downcourt.
Raegan Boothe passed the ball.
Emma Atwood goes up for a shot.
Sadly, despite a hard-won battle fought on the court, Leon's Lady Cardinals lost, 61-50. But these girls are winners in our estimation.
