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.

The Northern Valley B-team girls played three quarters and were persistent in moving the ball and cutting toward the basket when there was an opening. We have some improvements to make on defense but there were lots of positives in this victory bringing our record to 2-3. Five girls had points on the board led by Tayah Seeders with 8 points and Joplyn McCue with 6. Amora Simoneau had a good game with 4 points and 7 rebounds.
