Coach Cole;
The Husky Boys Basketball season ended in the first round of sub-state to a good Dighton team in Almena on Monday. The Huskies lost 43-56, never leading in the game, but would make it close in the fourth quarter. Costly turnovers and lots of missed open looks to score were troublesome for us all night. Shot 27% from the field on the night. The Huskies went 10-12 on the season winning against Triplains/Brewster, Hoxie, Arapahoe, Stockton, Western Plains, Lakeside, and Golden Plains and Logan/Palco each twice. There were many heartbreaking loses in the season… six to be exact. Lost to Weskan by 2, Wheatland by 3, Greeley County by 3, Cheylin by 6, Rawlins County by 7, and Smith Center by 11. All of those games we led in the fourth and couldn’t close them out. Overall the Huskies had a better season than last with the same core group of players. Regular varsity players for the season were Gavin Thalheim, Owen Hammond, Tait Thalheim, Lucas Hansen, Zane Brown, Griffin McKinney, Conner David, and Maverick Rogers. The Husky boys averaged 53.3 PPG, 33.1 RPG, 13.9 APG, 8.5 SPG, 15.7 TO. All statistical improvement from a season ago.
Coach Sides and myself want to thank everyone that supported us all year and traveled to each and every game. The boys worked hard in practice in pursuit of a winning season. Husky boys statistical leaders are below:
Gavin Thalheim led in scoring with 374 (17.0 per game)
Owen Hammond led in rebounding with 234 (10.6 per game)
Owen Hammond led in assists with 78 (3.5 per game)
Gavin Thalheim led in steals with 65 (3.0 per game)
Owen Hammond led in blocks with 12
Gavin Thalheim led in 2-point % at 53% (68/128)
Gavin Thalheim led in 3-point % at 41% (65/157)
Tait Thalheim led in FT% at 70% (57/81)
The Huskies went 5-4 at Home, 2-7 on the Road, 3-1 in Neutral games, and 6-4 in WKLL games.

Good Morning Huskies!! Here is your Weekly Agenda. As always, let us know if you have any questions and have a great week!!
(Pictured are Jaden Johns and Owen Hammond playing Chess during 7th Hour P.E.)
The Northern Valley 5th Hour Weight Class has participated in a number of double elimination P.E. Game tournaments this year with many more to come. The most recent was the Chess Tournament Championships. With 16 participants in 5th hour Weight Class, it took 4 days to complete the tournament. At the end of the fourth day, the results were as follows:
1st Place - Jaden Johns
2nd Place - Bryson Wilder
3rd Place - Griffin McKinney
4th Place - Aaron Horacek
5th Place - Lucas Hansen
Jaden Johns went undefeated winning 5 chess matches in a row. Bryson Wilder lost his first match to Lucas Hansen, but went on a 6 game winning streak to face Jaden Johns in the championship. Out of 16 students in 5th hour weights, 8 students had never played chess before. All 24 students played Chess during HS P.E. class to take a break from weight lifting, all 24 students can now confidently say they know how to play the game. Too bad there are no local chess tournaments, because quite a few students have great strategy!

They played team basketball to the best of their ability, and worked hard in each and every contest.
