BRYSON – Every team faces adversity in a season. It’s how you face it that can effect how you do when things get back to normal.

Cowgirl Riley Valliant missed her second straight game Friday due to health concerns. The first was a tough road loss Tuesday but in the friendly confines of Cowgirl Gym vs. Gold-Burg Friday, the squad seemed to turn things around enroute to a tougher than it looked 39-29 win over the Lady Bears.

BRYSON – With nine seniors set to graduate after this season, Bryson’s boys basketballers are needing to find replacements on the floor while still playing for this year.

Games like Friday night’s 77-42 win over visiting Gold-Burg can accomplish that, Coach Slade Egan having the opportunity to play many of his underclassmen who looked good in their time on the floor.

GRAFORD – It takes time to buy into a new coach’s philosophy, especially when one was legend Ty Tabor.

Graford Boys Coach Jeff Bell knows a few things about legend, having won a few state titles, 860 games and being a member of the Texas Boys Coaches Association Hall of Fame during his career. Still, Bell knows he has to earn his keep in his firstyear at the helm of the Rabbits and is doing his best to do so.

BRYSON – It’s not often you see a shutout thrown in basketball.

PERRIN – Perrin Girls Basketball Coach Eddie Fortenberry was very forthcoming about his squad following their 45- 22 season opening loss to Chico Dec. 1.
