The 8th Grade Girls Basketball team concluded their season in the Junior Ten tournament with a 34 - 15 loss to the #2 Seed Hinckley-Big Rock Royals. Our team left it all out on the floor but they weren't able to hold off the Royals attack. Kaydence Eade led the Bobcats with eight points, eight rebounds, three steals and three blocks. All of her statistics led the team in those categories. Destiny Salgado chipped in with three points, Brooke Bahrey and Riley Lackey capped off the scoring with a bucket apiece. Bahrey and Avery Charles each had two steals and Salgado pulled down four rebounds. The team as a whole improved immensely as the season went on and will be a solid group for years to come at the high school level.

The 7th grade Girls Basketball Team ended their season on Wednesday evening with a loss to Indian Creek 22-18. The girls played an outstanding game, it was really fun, though disappointed with the result. The best part was the smiles on the faces that this team had in the locker room as they reflected on a successful season together. TEAM matters to these players! We look forward to seeing their continued growth as players through the years. The Bobcats were led in scoring by Ashley McCoy 10, Salena Norris 4, Kira Barnes 2 and Amelia Michels 2. The Bobcats ended with a (6-10) record. Thank you for the opportunity to coach a great group of student-athletes! Coach Benson
