The JV Bravettes played the Keota Eagles on Jan. 14. Sadly, the Bravettes lost with a score of 24-10.
It was very slow scoring in the first half as the Eagles led 8-6 at break.
“Our mental focus was not there in the press break early and throughout the game,” said Coach Stew Timm.
The Eagles took off in the second half while the Bravettes still couldn’t get going.
Coach Timm said, “This was a frustrating day for the girls and myself. We just couldn’t get into an offensive flow, which was apparent by the score.”
Although the Bravettes weren’t playing their best, they still had some great shots. Clara Johnson scored six points, and Paige Snook and Mackenzie James each scored two.
“It is a game that I hope the girls learn from, and we will bounce back for a strong finish in our remaining games,” said Coach Timm.
On Jan. 16, the JV Bravettes competed against Lynnville-Sully. It was a disappointing score of 46-11, in Lynnville-Sully’s favor.
At halftime, the score was 24-6. Defense was the difference at both ends. Montezuma struggled with backdoor cuts and the Hawks’ defense prevented the Bravettes from getting good looks.
Coach Timm said, “I felt like we played better in the second half but still struggled to score.”
Even though the score was disappointing, there were many great moments. Alex Brenner scored six, Katelyn Gregory and Snook added two points each and Abbi Nelson scored one.
“This was a very good team we played and with no chance to practice or prepare a little for them, it was a tough night for the Bravettes,” said Coach Timm.
