With a little more than a week of practice and a recent tournament under its belt, an upset from Saint Jo would be asking a lot and the Rabbits showed why winning 72-28.

Connor Thompson led the team with eight points while Logan Morman scored six points.
Saint Jo plays at the Era tournament this weekend before traveling to 3A Paradise next week to play at 5 p.m. on Dec. 17.

Prairie Valley girls
The Lady Bulldogs played at private school Sacred Heart on Tuesday.

Shelby Roof led the team with 11 points. Emily Carpenter had eight points while grabbing seven rebounds. Hailey Winkler stole a game high seven times.
It was one of the few games this season Prairie Valley has not really been in. With one of those behind them now and the Mineral Wells tournament this weekend, the Lady Bulldogs only have a couple of games to regroup.

Prairie Valley boys
