Both the boys and girls faced Watonga last night at home for the first round of Regionals. The boys had defeated them twice this year and it has been a tough game each time. They are very quick and have a good defense. We all knew it was going to be a very fast paced game and probably very close. But... we weren't quite prepared for what happened last night.

Watonga could NOT miss a shot! They started off the game shooting 3 pointers and made everything they put up! We started off down by 8 and struggled the entire game. We ended up losing 76-86. Like we thought, it was extremely fast paced and very physical. So now they cannot lose another game or they are out of the playoffs.

The girls also played a good game but couldn't break away from the Lady Watonga Eagles. They lost 45-47. They too are in the losers bracket now.

We travel to Hinton tonight for the first of hopefully many games to come in the playoffs.

This was the last home basketball game the Seniors will every play at home ; (
