The Kindergarten Class enjoyed Global School Play Day. They took Advantage of not having to clean up until the end of the day!
Huskies! I apologize I had marked down that we go to Atwood next Monday, we DON'T. Next Monday's Game is a Home Game Against Atwood. I apologize for the confusion.

Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High hosted their last regular season game against the Cheylin Cougars. We knew this game would be tough and the girls fought hard in the first half staying within 12 points. We worked well breaking their press and took good shot opportunities, but the shot didn’t fall. The second half was a struggle and our effort level continually faded. The girls were disappointed in the loss but plan to work hard this week in practice to prepare for the WKLL tournament.
Assistant Coach McKinney’s Comments -
The Northern Valley B-team girls started off strong in the first half with good ball movement and communication of defense. We came out sluggish after the half and did not take advantage of open shots. It was disappointing to let the last regular season game get away from us with such a deficit, but we are looking forward to the WKLL tournament next week. Joplyn McCue led the team with 6 points.

Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High traveled to Winona to take on the Triplains/Brewster Titans for their last regular season road trip. The girls had a couple struggles with communication on defense but worked hard to clean it up. We did a great job of attacking the basket and getting rebounds. The 29-20 win improves out win/loss record to 8-2. Inez Schemper had a good game and a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds followed by Annika McKinney with 7 points and 9 rebounds. Next week will be a tough game against the Cheylin Cougars but we are looking forward to the competition.
Assistant Coach McKinney’s Comments -
The Northern Valley B-team girls started off strong but became intimidated by the Titans tight defense. It was a great reminder of how important it is to get all the little things right in a close game. The girls are excited about their last regular season game at home next week. Tayah Seeders led the team with 4 points and 7 rebounds.
