JH Lady Pioneers Fall to the Saints and Eagles
The junior high Lady Pioneers played against the Huntsville Lady Eagles on January 28, 2016. The leading shooter for the Lady Pioneers was freshman Jaydon Jarnagan. The Lady Pioneers played well but lost to the Lady Eagles 42-26.
“Even though the scoreboard showed a loss, it doesn’t reflect how they played as a team. They fought hard,” Ms. Katina said.
On February 1, the junior high Lady Pioneers played against the Shiloh Christian Saints. The leading scorer was Jarnagan. The Lady Pioneers lost to the Lady Saints 37-28.
“The Gentry Junior High girls nearly tripped up the Shiloh Lady Saints on Monday night. These Gentry girls are a tenacious bunch who don’t seem to know the word quit! Playing through pain and injury in less than hospitable environment, they simply ran out of time in their effort to bring home another win. They are fun to watch because they really seem to love the game!” Kirk Anderson, Emma Anderson’s parent, said.
The junior high teams will be in action this week in the district tournament at Lincoln. The JH Lady Pioneers will play tonight against LIncoln at 4:00. The junior high boys will play Pea Ridge at LIncoln at 5:30.
