Jr. Sabres basketball teams victorious over Dragons

Chris Davis

Another evening of exciting  basketball was presented at the Dale Wentz Memorial Gym on the of January 12.

First up, the Jr. Sabres boys team was victorious over their Dragons counterparts by a score of 40-32.

Next it was time for Jr. Girls action.  St. Michael's Jr. Dragons were up against Lundbreck's Jr. A Sabres.  The crowd was treated to a superb game between two evenly matched teams.  The score was frequently tied throughout the first three quarters, with a lot of back-and-forth play.  It was really anyone's game until the fourth quarter, when the Dragons began to flag a little, not a lot, but just enough for the Sabres to pull ahead and take the game.

#14 Emily with the Dragons was one of the game's outstanding players, scoring 10 points for her team.  Dragons #17 Ashley and #11 Aston scored six points apiece.
#7 Justine demonstrated some terrific hustle, but couldn't quite capitalize on it this time out, scoring twice.  She's a player to watch though, improving all the time.  Dragons #13 Whitney played flat-out for most of the game, but couldn't quite make those big shots in this game.  With just a little more consistency she will be making a bigger dent on the scoreboard.  She scored four times for the Dragons, and could easily double that performance on a good day.  Overall, the Jr. Girls Dragons have been working on their team play, and are consistently strong opponents.

Over on the victorious Sabres side of the court, #12 Rebecca was a game changer for her squad, scoring an incredible 28 points.  This young lady plays full out all the time, and misses very few opportunities.  #2 Kaitlyn scored four times for her squad, and was relentless in her pursuit of the ball.  #3 Nikki and #6 Daniela scored twice apiece.  The Sabres played a short bench of six players. Each and every member of the team put in 100% throughout despite having little or no breaks from the action.

Final Score: Sabres 36, Dragons 28
