Jr. High Tournament


The Jr. high had a successful tournament over the weekend of Febuary 19th and 20th. With a coin flip we ended up going in to tournament as the 3rd seed and faced the Rocky Mountain Grizzlies, who with a couin flip was the 2nd seed. We came out with some nerves showing and couldn't get those first shots to fall. We played good defence and held Rocky to one of their lowest point totals all season but still fell 25 to 15.

We next played a much improved Ten Sleep team on saturday morning. We came out with a lot more fire and shot the ball better .In the second half we let down a little and let the Pioneers make a run , but held them off for the win , with the score of 32 to 26.

With that win we played Cloud Peak in the game that decided third place. We again came out with some fire and shot the ball very well. Again in the second half we had a let down and made it way to close. Having a let down is something we need to work on not having. To our girls credit they didn't panic , kept playing hard , made some free throws at the end and held on 22 to 19 for third place. As their coach i am so proud of the effort that each and every one of these girls put into this whole season. Each one made a lot of improvment and it really showed as the season progressed.

It will be great to watch these 12 eighth graders as they move into the High school ranks and also the progress of the 7th and 6th graders as they continue to grow and develop the skills they showed this year.

Congrats on the third place finish !!!


Coach Bennion
