PCHS JV Girls basketball team played in the
Harry Collinge senior tournament Dec 13-14.
Opened up the tournament, our first game of
the year was against Jasper. After lots of energy
and learning in the first half, we started to figure
things out. We outscored Jasper 14-12 in the
fourth quarter. The final score was 56-31.
Our second game was against Harry Collinge
Senior team. It was a good game for experience
but the final score was 84-12.
The third game Saturday afternoon ended up
being a very closely fought one against Gerard
Redmond. After winning the first quarter and
staying within 8 points throughout the majority
of the game our last few shots just came up a
little short. Gerard Redmond won.
Throughout the tournament all the players
learned a lot and gained valuable experience.
Samantha and Dalanie were very active
defensively and contributed well to the offense
with good shots and decisions. Taylor Eaton ran PCHS JV Girls basketball team: Coach Hayley Dudla, Dalanie Williams, Latisha Tallcree, Bree Howard,
