In girls hockey Tuesday night, the Worthington Trojans nearly rallied from a 3-0 deficit but wound up falling on the road to Fairmont, 3-2.
Fairmont built its 3-0 lead with a goal at the 12:52 mark of the second period, but Worthington wasn’t done. Kessey Aljets scored on an assist from Peyton Nickel at 12:40 of the second period to get the Trojans on the board, and Aljets got a feed from Nickel for another goal at 8:26 in the third period to cut the Cardinals’ advantage to one. Worthington, though, would get no closer, as Fairmont held on thanks in part to a 44-26 advantage in shots on goal. Lillyana Newman made 41 saves in the net for Worthington, now 1-7 on the season.
WHS will host Morris/Benson at noon Saturday; the game will be broadcast on 1043.3 The Bridge.

The Worthington High School girls basketball team improved to 5-0 on the season Tuesday night, running away from Jackson County Central in the second half and posting a 90-66 win in the WHS gymnasium.
Olivia Hayenga had big night offensively for the Trojans, pouring in 33 points; she also added six assists and eight steals. Worthington led 40-29 at halftime, but the Huskies were able to close to within three points in the early stages of the second half. WHS, though would slowly pull away, as Hayenga was one of five Trojan players to score in double figures.
Also chipping in offensively for the Trojans were Ellie Weg, who had 20 points as well as 18 rebounds; Madison Beckmann, who had 13; and Tarren Spartz and Dasia Potter, who had 12 apiece.
