This Friday and Saturday our basketball teams played two tough team as well as a pretty big rival. Both the boys and the girls did really well and gave it their all.On Friday the girls came out with a win, while the boys had a tough loss in overtime. This team was a big step in our season and the win not only helped our reputation, but also our confidence. On Saturday we played Walsh in our home gym and we did great. The boys went into overtime and took advantage of it this time taking the win,and the girls also took home another win. The season is looking up so far for both teams and hopefully it will only continue.
We both have a big, long week ahead of us, but it is also one of the funnest parts of the season. The Holiday Basketball Tournament in Lamar is coming up this Tursday, Friday, and Saturday. We will see many of our toughest opponets, and best of all our rivals. Our girls are going in ranked number one, and will play the the number eight team Mclave. This is a fairly tough team and a big rival so hopefully we will come out with a win and keep on pushing through the next two days.Our boys are going in ranked fifth and will be playing the Granada, bobcats. Last year our girls came out winning firts place in a tight game against Wiley only winning by two points. We hope to represent our town well and keep our season going good. Good Luck!

This Thursday and Friday our high school boys and girls had basketball games. On Thursday they played Deertrail and the boys and girls both performed really well. The girls came out with a fairly close win, while the boys had a tougher time and lost this game.However on Friday we played the Fowler Grizzlies, and both teams came out with a win. Our girls blew them out of the water, while our boys won in a close nail-biting game.
I am very proud of both of our teams and hope they keep up the good work. This week our boys and girls both play Springfield on Friday in Springfield, and we play Walsh on Sautrday at home. We hope to come out with wins. Good Luck!
