JR. HIGH Basketball

The JR. High girls had a very competitive weekend. On Thursday night they played Cloud Peak and after being behind made a great comeback and actually went ahead towards the end of the 4th quarter. A couple of defensive mistakes let the Cougars tie the game and we went into overtime. The Cougars had a little more energy in the extra period and we ended up losing 26 to 22. It was a good effort on the Lady Longhorns part.
On Saturday the Ladys traveled to Ten Sleep to take on the Pioneers. We were a little sluggish and put the Pioneers on the free throw line way to many times, but came away with the victory buy the score of 20 to 16. Ten of the Pioneers points came from the free throw line.
I hope the girls learned what kind of effort it takes to win. The confrence is very competitive this year and we are right the hunt for a confrence win if we play together and give a great effort.

This week the JR. High have a couple of home games. On Friday we have a rematch with Cloud Peak at 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. and on Saturday morning we take on Rocky Mountain at 10 and 11 a.m.

Thanks to all those who came out to support our JR. High girls.

Correction for this weekend

*****Please note that the games are at 4:00/5:30 in Farson = Friday***** This change was necessary because the officials would not have been able to make the originally scheduled 2:30 game. So, the varsity girls will play at 4:00 and the varsity boys at 5:30.
