St. Michael's Senior Girls Dragons basketball team hosted the Crowsnest Pass Consolidated High Pandas on Wednesday, January 29. The action was swift throughout the game,  which the Dragons won 57 - 25.

Dragons Rebecca Lowry and Jayden Kennedy dominated the scoring in the first quarter, and the Dragons held the Pandas to 2 points.

The Pandas did not give up, and with good teamwork they did climb in points during the second and third quarter, narrowing the gap  to 45 - 21. Pandas Raegan Jackson and Dakota la Duke scored the bulk of their points, and both young ladies demonstrated a fierce spirit throughout the game.

"We all did pretty well tonight, we got to work on lots of stuff and everyone got to play a lot," said Dragons Team Captain Tamara Parkin. "The Pass played well, it was a good competition. They have improved since we've played them last."

"I thought the second half was definitely stronger than the first," said Pandas Coach Rhonda Jackson. "The girls really follow Raegan's leadership out there."

Next up for the Dragons team is a tournament in Riley on Friday, January 31.
