Another Night of Dual Hoops

The boys and girls teams took to the hardwood again in opposite directions as the boys travelled to W-town and the girls hosted the Boone County Rebels. (Am I the only one who wishes that the teams didn’t play so often on the same nights; how about some more varsity double headers?) The boys win to lock up an undefeated season in District 32 play in a lopsided win, 90-44.   

Boone headed to the Joe tonight without head coach Nell Fookes who had a death in her family.  A moment of silence was observed before the start of the game.

Once again, the Lady Neers fell behind big early as they went down double digits right from the start. SK would cut the lead to 8 with about 3 minutes left in the second quarter but Boone would counter following a timeout to finish the quarter on a 9-0 run to take a 17 point half-time lead. SK didn’t give up in this game like they did on Saturday against Walton Verona. They never did chip into the Boone lead but they played hard and held serve for the second half. Boone wins by a final of 68-47.

AO Wings puts up a shot and avoids the block by the Boone player.  Sticks played as hard as anyone tonight.  The eyes are the key in the first shot.
