Fleming High School’s varsity girls pummeled Union Colony Prep 77-27 in a road game on Jan. 31, 2026, a lopsided victory that reinforced the Wildcats’ standing inside Class 1A. MaxPreps published a short recap, the official box score and video highlights for the game the same day, which provide full player-by-player details and game footage.

The win is part of a stretch that leaves Fleming 9-4 and ranked No. 5 in Class 1A as of early February. That positioning carries tangible postseason implications: barring any major shakeups, Fleming is on track to host a regional tournament, and “that significantly improves their chances of securing a spot for the eight-team state tournament,” Alissa Noe of Colorado Preps wrote on Feb. 4, 2026.

The Jan. 31 victory came amid a season that has tested the Wildcats against larger classifications. “Throughout most of the 2025-26 season, Fleming girls basketball has been a force through Class 1A,” Noe noted, but she added that “the Wildcats have consistently soared against similarly-sized programs, but every once in a while, a team from a bigger classification will come along to show them that there’s always work to be done. Two such cases have occurred within the last few weeks.” Fleming absorbed a 43-31 loss at 2A No. 6 Akron on Jan. 20 and were handled 55-22 by 2A’s top-ranked Merino on the Tuesday night referenced in the Feb. 4 story. Those games framed Fleming’s bounceback wins over Peetz (61-28), 1A No. 8 Stratton (55-49) and 2A No. 43 Union Colony Prep (77-27).

Senior guard Brooke Schaefer has been the team’s leading scorer in the available sample, averaging 19.7 points per game in the seven games for which stats were reported. Senior forward Ciana Lousberg has been the most all-around presence in that sample, averaging 11.6 points, a team-high 7.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 4.4 steals per game.

For Logan County fans, the result matters beyond a single box score. A dominant road performance helps protect Fleming’s seeding and the prospect of hosting regionals, which concentrates postseason play locally and rallies community support for the Wildcats.

With a 9-4 ledger and a top-five 1A ranking, Fleming closes the regular slate with momentum and clearer postseason stakes. Hosting a regional would be the next tangible payoff for the Wildcats and the community, and it would materially improve Fleming’s path toward the eight-team state tournament.
