Allison Weidner delivers on promise to win title

Promise kept.

Allison Weidner delivered Saturday on a promise she made a year ago, leading St. Francis to the Class D-2 state championship with a 57-48 win over Falls City Sacred Heart at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.

“I promised them that this year would be our year,” Weidner said. “They were crying, I was crying. I promised them that this would be our year, and now we’re undefeated, 25-0, state champs, it feels good.”
