Red Cloud vs. STM

By Sierra Concha '13

The stands were filled with blue as the crowd haunted STM with their loud cheers. Hundreds had come to watch the two rivals play each other last night in the Red Cloud gym. The players were dripping with sweat by the end of the first quarter, but STM eventually came out with a win of 56-35. It was heartbreaking to watch Red Cloud players’ faces drop as the time on the clock lessened. The student section continued to cheer on our friends until the last buzzer pounded into everyone’s ears. Dominic Pilcher was the leading scorer last night with a total of 10 points, and Duran Richards was right behind him with 9 points.

Their heads hung low as they walked out of the locker room, but Sader fans still believe the boys will bring their best game in the upcoming weeks. This was the most anticipated game of the year for the players, but now they plan on using this past loss as motivation to work harder. There is still the Pine Ridge game to practice for this Saturday in Rapid City, and many more will be there to support both the boys and girls basketball team as they play against our local rival. No one has lost faith in Red Cloud despite this loss, and many will continue to support the incredibly talented team on their journey to districts.
