Junior High Hangs Tough, Comes Up Short

The junior high Lady Falcons travelled to Bronte Saturday to play in the Bronte Tournament. Coming off of a second consecutive win at home against Lorraine, the girls were prepared for much tougher competition. In their firs game, Veribest faced top-seeded Bronte, who last year beat the Lady Falcons 25-6, 25-5. The home team, however would face a determined opponent. In three tough games, the Lady Falcons won game one 25-22, lost game two 25-21, and fell in game three 25-23. Then, with no rest, Veribest played the 8th grade team from Colorado City. In much the same fashion, the Lady Falcons won game one 25-22 but lost game two. Game three saw Veribest rally from seven points down to take a lead of 18-14. The win, ,however. eluded the team once again, as the Lady Falcons fell short 25-21. Coach Nason was very proud of the effort of the entire team, and noted the clear improvement in the play of the team. Good job, Lady Falcons in representing the school with pride!

The Lady Falcons will travel to Sterling City on Monday to continue district play. Game time for the 7th grade team is at 5:30, with 8th grade action following the conclusion of the first match.
