‘Sader Victory

By Sierra Concha '13

 

Last Thursday, the Red Cloud girls basketball varsity played against Hill City for the District 15A Championship. Throughout the game, Red Cloud remained in the lead. By the third quarter, Hill City had managed to only be six points behind, but the Lady 'Saders were determined to win. Red Cloud finished the game with the win, 56-37. Red Cloud was led by Samantha Weston '14 and Shaylene Zimiga '13. They are this season's District 15A Champions. They’ll be playing Spearfish tomorrow night in Rapid City. You can read about the girls' victory over Hill City in the Rapid City Journal.

Last Friday, the Varsity boys basketball team also had an intense game against St. Francis. That was their last regular season game, and they were losing the entire first half. St. Francis and Red Cloud had the same season record of 15-4, so this game was intense from the moment the boys stepped on the court. Cully Pourier ’13, had 15 points in the third quarter and sparked the comeback. Red Cloud beat St. Francis 79-65, leaving the Crusaders with a 16-4 record to finish their season.

The Varsity boys District Basketball game will be held tonight at Red Cloud against Hill City at 6 PM.
