The Battle of the Baskets
On January 11, 2016, the junior high Lady Pioneers went against the Prairie Grove Lady Tigers. The leading shooters were eighth graders Ahrya Reding, Ariel Nix, and Madison Stanfill. The Lady Pioneers lost 29-14. “As a team I think we didn’t work together as well as we needed to. We learned that next time we need to work more as a team so we can execute offenses,” freshman Jaydon Jarnagan said.
On January 14, 2016, the Junior High Lady Pioneers hosted the Lincoln Lady Wolves. Meledy Owens (8th), Jarnagan (9th), Reding (8th), and Madison Boyd (8th) lead the team and scored a majority of the game. “I think we did really well this game. We executed things well and put our all into it. I just wish we would’ve come out in the 1st quarter as well as we did the other three. Other than that, I think we did really well, and it was a fun game!” Owens stated. Unfortunately, the Lady Pioneers lost to the Lady Wolves with a final score of 39-33.
On January 19, 2016, the Junior High Lady Pioneers played against the Gravette Lady Lions. They were vanquished by the Lions. The final score was 56-12. Coach Ward said, “All the credit goes to Gravette. They played really well and we struggled to score because of their pressure.”
The junior high teams will continue their season tonight when they host the Berryville Lady Bobcats.
