Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs had a tough time at the Chico tournament last weekend.
The Lady Bulldogs went 0-3 overall, losing one close game while struggling in the other two.
Prairie Valley lost to the tournament host Chico 59-38 to start the tournament. The Lady Bulldogs then had a rematch against Bryson, who they beat earlier last week. Unfortunately, this time Bryson came out on top winning 32-30.
Prairie Valley ended the tournament with a loss to Petrolia 46-27.
The team was led offensively by Carmen Gomez (35 points) and Emily Carpenter (34 points) throughout the tournament.
Coach Jeannie Carpenter knows her team is improving, but knows in certain areas it needs to be better.
“We need to be more aggressive on both offense and defense,” Carpenter said. “We are rebounding well on the defensive end and that definitely is helping us from giving up second and third shots. We need more offensive rebounds and put backs. Our ball handling continues to improve and that will help as the season progresses.”
Prairie Valley is next scheduled to play at 6 p.m. on Dec. 10 at Perrin-Whitt.

Gold-Burg

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers were able to finish strong at their hosted tournament last weekend.
The Lady Panthers rallied to win the consolation bracket, winning both games to finish 2-2.
Saint Jo had a rough day of pool play. The Lady Panthers lost to Graford 41-16 and to Decatur Victory 51-31. Both of those teams would end up meeting in the tournament championship game.
Playing in the consolation bracket, Saint Jo rallied and beat Savoy in a low scoring game 37-16.
This set up a championship game against Sacred Heart. It was a more competitive game than the last one, but in the end the Lady Panthers came out on top 34-27.
It was a good result mentally for the young team as Saint Jo is still trying to get up to speed, mixing its returning players with an influx of freshman players.
