The inability to hit the open shot proved costly Thursday as the Bemidji girls basketball team dropped its regular season finale 60-34 at Grand Rapids.
The Lumberjacks now await Sunday's section seeding but coach Rick Kehoe believes his team will receive the seventh seed and open the post-season Tuesday at St. Michael-Albertville which should be ranked second.
"We had plenty of open looks but we just couldn't make a basket," Kehoe said.
Bemidji converted only three buckets in the first half and trailed 28-12 at the break.
Jess Yost had nine points to lead Bemidji's offense. Greta Steever contributed seven and Caitlin Hadrava six.
