The Eastern Greene Varsity Girls Basketball Team picked up their first win of the season at home on November 7th against Loogootee. The game was very close throughout as both teams never led by more than 7 points. Each team fought back from deficits making it a nail-biter all the way to the final horn. The final score was 47-45. Keylee Hudson led the TBird scoring with 16 points. Bianca Wyatt added 12 points for the double digit scoring Thunderbirds. Melanie Wyatt had 8 points, Mallorie Elliott - 5 points, Lydia Pfaff - 3 points, Chyann Padgett - 2 points, and Grace Deckard started the game with 1 point. The Lady Thunderbirds had 7 - 3pt FGs in the win. The JV Girls Basketball played Dugger's Varsity and nearly came back to win the first contest of the evening. The JV Girls fought back from a 10-1 deficit to lose 21-18 against the Bulldogs. Very proud of how these ladies are fighting and improving after a half of basketball where the lid was on the hoop. Keep working and improving!!! The Girls Basketball Team will be back in action on Thursday, November 9th at home against Owen Valley. JV will start at 6 p.m. On Saturday, November 11th, the varsity will travel to Shoals. Tip-off is set for 3:30 p.m.
