JV Bravettes claim a win

by Kayla Werner

On Dec. 1, the JV Bravettes played Sigourney at Montezuma. Montezuma won with an ending score of 31-29.

Coach Stew Timm said, “Our defense and intensity led to easy looks early. The girls did a great job in the press.”  

The Bravettes were in the lead at the end of the first quarter with 7-0, but in the second quarter Sigourney found some success on offense. The Bravettes led at half with 14-11. 

“Offensively and defensively there were good things to learn from and build on,” said  Timm.

The Savages were able to tie up the score in the second half, but never took the lead. Late in the game it came down to which team could make free throws, and Dakota Norris was up to the challenge for the Bravettes. Norris had made two out of four of her points. With 15 seconds left, she knocked down two free throws and gave the Bravettes  the lead with 31-29.

Timm said, “This game and win is a huge step in the right direction.”
