JACKSBORO – The Bucks traveled to Jacksboro to play the Tigers on their home court Friday, Jan. 29 and came out with a solid victory, 56-46.
HOLLIDAY – If it’s one thing, jacksboro’s boys basketball team has been known for this year, it’s the knack for fighting hard.

HOLLIDAY – Jacksboro’s girls basketballers got off to a quick start Tuesday night but the host Lady Eagles proved to have too much in the tank, using an 11-0 run to pull away early and post a 72-37 win over the Tigerettes.
GRAFORD – Anytime you shoot 58 percent from the field, it’s a pretty good chance you’re going to win.
Graford has been doing a lot of that of late, having just lost two games all season, one of those to the team that went to State last year by one point in overtime. After a slow start Friday night vs. Bryson, the Rabbits got rolling and posted an 87-22 win over the visiting Cowboys.
Bryson can take comfort in knowing they held Graford under 90 points, the first team in district to do so. Graford Coach Jeff Bell said a sense of complacency came over his squad early.
