12/16/24 Basketball: Ladysmith 58, McDonell Macks 50

On the road for another tough non-conference test, the Macks (3-4, 1-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) stayed close early against the senior-laden Lumberjacks (5-1, 3-0 Heart O' North Conference), but fell a few possessions behind to close the first half.

After halftime, the Macks closed to within four points, only to have Ladysmith go on a run of their own. McDonell later cut the deficit to a single possession, but once again the veteran Lumberjacks roster responded, holding the Macks at bay until the final buzzer.

Junior guard Cael Holm hit four threes and finished with a game-high 18 points.
