Saint Francis junior high Lady Indians fought hard against the Atwood Lady Buffaloes Thursday night. Throughout the game the Lady Indians A-Team girls fought hard even when they were down. The halftime score was 12-19 and the girls ended up losing with a final score of 27-32.

Saint Francis A-Team player and eighth grader Kattie Wurm said last year it was easier to play against Atwood because she was on B-Team. She said A-Team has been more challenging.

Talexa Weeter, Saint Francis sixth grader and A-Team player, said, “I had butterflies and was anxious,” but after she started to play the anxiousness went away.

Lady Indian B-Team pushed through with a hefty win against the Lady Buffaloes. The girls kept going throughout the night and never giving up. When the Lady Buffs made a few baskets, the Indians would respond with more baskets to counterbalance the score to the original Sainty lead. The Lady Indians stayed ahead with a halftime score of 15-2, and a final score of 21-15.

Ellee Krien, Saint Francis A and B-Team player and sixth grader, said the most memorable part of the game was when she got a fast break layup.
