MAPLE PARK – The Kaneland girls basketball program turned the corner last season with a defensive mindset, but that doesn’t mean the Knights can thrive with an offense in hibernation.

Shooting woes continued to plague Kaneland on Friday as the Knights scored only seven points in the second half of a 39-26 Northern Illinois Big 12 East loss against Yorkville.

The Knights have struggled mightily to score against the better teams in the conference. Kaneland produced a combined 39 points in a pair of losses to rival DeKalb in December.
