Today’s basketball games started with Red Cloud girls decimating the Tiospaye Zina team. 93-19.
Our first game was the Dupree Lady Tigers vs. the Wall Lady Eagles. The Dupree Tigers was the only team in our region to make it to the Oceti Sakowin Bracket. Taylee Jewett threw in the first points with a three pointer and ended with 20, but the Dupree Lady Tigers were no match for the seasoned Wall Lady Eagles and fell 71-53. Tomorrow’s Dupree Lady Tiger game will be in Ice Arena at 5:00. They’ll be playing the losing team of the Todd County v Custer game at 5pm MT.
