Thursday, February 14, our Lady Tigers Varsity basketball team traveled to Robinson to compete in the first round of Sectionals.
Previously, the Ladies proved dominant, winning all the Regional games including the Championship. Unfortunately for them though, they couldn’t get Sectionals.
The game started off rough for the ladies and once lead scorer Allison Englum got her knee injury things started going downhill.
“I think the game was bad. We did well at the beginning but things just started to slip away…” By the fourth quarter things started slipping even worse for the ladies.
“We knew it was going to be our last game in the fourth quarter. It was a sad loss but the seniors tried and we were happy we made it that far,” says varsity player Nique Tyler. “Maybe we’ll do better next year if we have more than 20 fans.” The final score was 57-40.
Student support can help a lot; it can change the outcome of a game. The Lady Tigers have ended their season for this year but for next year: make sure you attend as many games as you can to show your support!

Boy's Basketball challenges Chrisman Cardinals
by Valerie Lau
Hearts pulsing, sweat dripping, nerves racing, that’s the way most players and fans felt while watching the boy’s varsity basketball team take on the Chrisman Cardinals Friday, January 21st, at Ernie Eveland gym.
Previously, the Tigers lost to Chrisman during the Topper Classic in late November and then lost to them again at an away game. The boys had practiced very hard all week to prepare for this game and their hard work paid off.
The game started off with the lead going back and forth between the two teams and the score going into the half was 27-27.
Right into the third quarter, Chrisman player Cody Owen, the game's lead scorer, lost his footing and fell down to the floor near his team’s sideline. He was only out for a couple of minutes, but it was enough for the Tigers to pull back and take a commanding lead. Chrisman was able to pull back a lot, but it wasn’t enough. The Tigers ended up winning by 11.
“I really thought it was good. It was intense,” says Lauren Ricketts of the game. “Yes, the game was filled with intense action. The players played very well, ” said Aaron Garver.
The end of the season is coming up for the boys, so make sure you attend as many games as you can to support them! The next game is Tuesday, February 15, at Mt. Zion high school.
