JH Tigers compete at Orchard
Junior high Tigers split with Clearwater/Orchard
The Osmond Tigers junior high basketball team played its best two games of the season so far on Monday, January 15. The A team lost 24-12 and the B team won 8-2.
The Tigers played so much more like a team on Several players played well in the B game including Callie Hoffman (7th) who had six points.
“Overall, there were a ton of positives to take away from these games,” Morrison said. “We’ve still got a long ways to go, but our girls are getting better.”
The Tigers played decently defensively, but they did lose Clearwater-Orchard’s best shooter at times.
Offensively the Tigers looked like they were starting to become more and more comfortable playing with each other and knowing what each other does.
The Tigers play of the day came when Leah Buchanan passed the ball the wing, which led to Gutz finding Tessa Gardner near the elbow. Gardner then hit the shot.
“That was an awesome play! Everything fell into place and the ball just happened to go in the hoop.”
Gutz sored four points and Caydence Krienert scored four points. Leah Buchanan also scored in the game.
Reese Johns had a nice game. She was mentally focused and was a physical presence throughout the game. Anabelle Vinson hustled and was physical throughout the game.

Everyone contributed to the how well the team did. Buchanan and Kahny brought the ball up the court. Krienert did and excellent job attacking with the ball.
