On Saturday, December 2, the Boys Basketball team played against the Grace Grizzlies. To start off the night, C-Team played their best and worked as a team. Sophomore, Boston Burbidge, said, “We should’ve won.” While interviewing Hudson Daniels, he said, Ky Willie shot great from the three-point line. The JV team fought hard but couldn’t pull through and lost 33-30.

The Varsity team came out with a bang and Senior, Braylen Tripp, said, “The game was good. It’s not just one person making all the shots, we’ve played as a team. We haven’t won all our games, but we’re heading in the right direction and doing better than previous years.” This weekend there is a tournament. The season is looking great for all of our teams!

All of our Lady Dragon Wrestlers had a tournament this weekend from the first of December to the second. Everyone did amazing, especially since more than half of the girls are very new to the team, and it was their first match ever. The Lady Dragon’s first day was spent in Grace with about five-six other teams. The girls ended up taking third place overall, and all of the girls ended up getting at least one win each, with almost everyone getting a medal. The second day was spent in American Falls(AF) with the boys wrestling team wrestling that day as well. Many girls did great but we all had a lot of good teams with great competition. “There were some good wrestlers there today, and the girls learned some good lessons,” Coach Kade Price said after the day at AF. The girls are all super excited to wrestle in the upcoming tournament this weekend.
