JV Bravettes fight a close game


by Colton Talbert
All high school basketball teams traveled to Keota on Dec. 10. The JV teams played first followed by the varsity teams. It was Saturday full of games and cheering.
The JV Bravettes lost their battle 29-34. They started out slow while Keota was ready to play. Keota showed it by their tempo and pressing to force a time out to stop the 9-0 run by the Eagles. The Bravettes showed signs of improvement to end the half, bringing the score to 13-19. 
They came back out to start the third quarter and started slow again, as they did at the beginning of the game. The Bravettes tried to fight their way back but gave Keota too big of a gap earlier in the game. 
Coach Timm said, “I was proud of the way the girls responded to being down. In the past I don’t think they would have done that. They gave a tremendous effort for 22 of the 28 minutes played. Unfortunately we need the 28 minutes of that effort to come out with a victory.” 
Scorers were Katelyn Gregory with ten, Mackenzie James, Abbi Nelson and Paige Snook all with four, Courtney Petersen, Clara Johnson and Dakota Norris all with two, and Cheyenne Peters with one. 
Rebounding leaders were Cheyenne Peters with three, Katelyn Gregory, Abbi Nelson, Paige Snook, Courtney Petersen and Clara Johnson all with two, Dakota Norris, Mackenzie James and Shayla Townsend all had one. The Bravettes also made 15 out of 25 free throws. 
Timm said, “The girls are starting to show great strides both individually and as a team. I am excited for the upcoming games.” 
The Bravettes will next be in action after break on Jan. 3 at HLV.
