HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Edgerton girls earn historic win

Pipestone County Star ·

2025/01/17

EDGERTON — Edgerton Public High School’s Kami Smit and Elliott Fleischman made the back-end of double-bonus free throws late during overtime.

It’s believed this was the first win for Edgerton over SWC in girls basketball since Jan. 24, 2012. Interestingly enough, the final outcome of that contest was eerily similar with the Flying Dutch nipping the Eagles 56-55. SWC was ah...
