Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High traveled to Natoma to play the Paradise Wildcats. The A-team girls continue to improve on their ball movement, teamwork, and help defense. The girls had a lot of success driving to the basket and taking good shots improving their record to 7-2 for the season. Five players contributed to the scoring led by Annika McKinney and Inez Schemper with 10 points each and Cambrie Sproul with 9.
Assistant Coach McKinney’s Comments -
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.

Hey Huskies!!
JV Boys will start tomorrow @ 3, Varsity Girls will start @ 4 and Varsity Boys will start @ 5:30.
With the adjustments in time for the HS BB Games tomorrow I thought I would re-share the elementary night adjustments. If we have a very small number of kiddos, we will plan on having another Elementary night next week.
Post Prom Soup Supper is also postponed until next Friday's game. Kids will need to have desserts to the school on 1.30.26.
Thank you for your flexibility!! Let's hope for some safe moisture tomorrow!!

Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High hosted the Heartland Christian Crusaders, earning their sixth win of the season. Due to a lack of numbers at Heartland Christian, we only played A-team games, but every girl got minutes on the court. Our focus was on using every possession and numerous passes to find the best shot opportunities. The girls averaged six passes per possession, and after cleaning up their defense in the second half and multiple steals, the girls kept the lead throughout the game. All five starters contributed to the scoring. Annika McKinney led the team with 11 points, followed closely by Cambrie Sproul with 10. Inez Schemper had 5 points and 10 rebounds.

Hey Huskies!! Here is your weekly agenda. I had the wrong location for the WKLL Scholars Bowl on last week's calendar, it is in fact in Palco. We are very excited for the HS BB Games on Friday as it is a huge night for our Elementary Students as well. We have 1st - 4th Grade Basketball during the Halftime of the Girls' Varsity Game and Elementary Dance during Halftime of the Boys' Varsity Game. Let us know if you have any questions!

The Sophomores are playing an intense game of World War One themed Headbanz this morning!

Huskies, we had to add an extra fundraiser to our HS Basketball game nights because the 3-point sponsorship filled up in one night! Valley, you truly are amazing! Here is our next fundraiser... Tonight's Game Ball sponsor is Hays Farms!
If you want to sponsor a night, reach out to Jessie Thalheim! All funds will go towards helping replace scoreboards and put in shot clocks! These are quite expensive, so if you would like to be a larger donor and get your name on a plaque we in the gym let us know!

Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High traveled to Logan to take on the Logan/Palco Trojans. After taking a loss to them at the Christmas Tournament, the Lady Huskies were ready to play. The first quarter felt a little chaotic, but the girls found some rhythm in the second quarter. We still have a lot of confidence to build when handling pressure, but the girls moved the ball well and had good shot attempts. In the fourth quarter we had numerous bad passes but kept the lead winning 19-14. Inez Schemper led the team with 6 points followed by Annika McKinney with 5 points and 11 rebounds.
Assistant Coach McKinney’s Comments -
The B-team girls started the game little sluggish but were able to find some open spots on the floor. The most exciting accomplishments were found on some great seals by the post players and drives by the guards. Six players contributed to the B-team girls’ first win of the season. Inez Schemper led the team with 5 points.
