The Lady Falcons' playoff hopes ended last night when Richland Springs narrowly defeated Cherokee by six points. That, however, did not detract from a great year capped off by a 66-35 drubbing of the Paint Rock Maidens. In last Friday's battle, Veribest soared to a halftime lead of 29-15 thanks to a 21 point outburst in the second quarter. The Lady Falcons were led by Emily Lankford, who scored 23 points, and Hayley Humble, who added 17 points. The win places Veribest's final district record at 6-6, good for 4th place. Coach Witte is proud of the team for their effort all season long, and would like to say a special thank you to the seniors.
Meanwhile, the boys inched their way closer to the playoffs with a 63-28 victory against the Indians. In the contest, Cheyenne Black led the way with 22 points, while Camron Flavel played his most consistent offensive game of the year, adding 12 points to the Falcon total. The Falcons now face Lohn in a battle for playoff positioning. Lohn shocked the Falcons earlier in the season, and now, Veribest seeks revenge at home. A win places the Falcons in the playoffs with a chance at finishing the year as the second seed behind Eden. Game time this Friday night is at 6:30. Come out and root the Falcons into the playoffs!
