8TH GRADE BOYS BASKETBALL
8TH GRADE BOYS BASKETBALL
8th grade boys basketball had a tough battle last night at Euless. The B team started off slow but picked it up in the 2nd quarter to stay within 10 points at half. The second half got away from the Broncos and the final score ended up being 51-34. Outstanding performances from Johan N., Koltyn G., Austin B., and Cooper Mc.
The A - team faced a much larger Stallion team. They did not back down! While the outcome was not a win, they showed true grit and determination playing at a high level until the very end. Big games from Darius W., Ryder D., and Mason G. on the offensive side. Defensive standouts were Irwin L. and Ryder D.
8TH GRADE GIRLS BASKETBALL
8TH GRADE GIRLS BASKETBALL
Your Lady Broncos defended their first place standings last night, taking down the Euless Stallions in smooth fashion.
Team 2, on a five game win streak since their mid season tournament, played some of the best team basketball we've seen all year, holding Euless to 2 in the first quarter and only 5 the first half, while recording 6 assists and putting up 24 points. There was no let-up in the second half and your Broncos proved why they are at the top of the District, finishing up with a score of 35 - 13 and continuing the streak.
Team 1 came out aggressive offensively from the jump and got Euless in foul trouble early, shooting 7 free throws in the first quarter alone. The offensive pressure paired with 11 assists and our impenetrable defense put us up 33 - 3 heading into halftime. The second half was copy/paste with your Broncos holding the Stallions to only 3 more points and putting up 8 more assists offensively, recording a final score of 45 - 6 and pushing the win streak to 8.
Both teams have their final game of the regular season next Thursday, taking on Harwood at home at 5pm and 6:15pm. They would love to see the stands packed for their last regular season game, as they try to keep their undefeated season intact!
Team 1 hosts their rescheduled Mid Season Tournament this Friday and Saturday in the Bedford Junior High gyms. Your Broncos will play at 5pm today (Feb 5) and there will be games at 8am, 9am, and championship at 10:30am Saturday morning.
