Addie says, “It was one of our best games we’ve played together as a team, We played all 4 quarters and never gave up.” To describe her awesome play during Friday’s match: “we shared the ball really well, we played good defense, talked a lot on our 1-3-1 defense and our press worked well also.” Addie represented well, and the girls season is continuing to go really well. The Palisade bulldogs upgraded their record to 11-5. Addie exclaimed, “We won our first league game against Glenwood!”As for the boys, it was a close call throughout the entire game. In the end, the Devils beat the Bulldogs with an ending score of 62-51. This loss continued the disappointing trend in the boys basketball team, as they have now lost three games in a row.

The season is halfway done and the Bulldogs will be starting league plays very soon, so we wish the best of luck to them!
