The Northern Valley JH Huskies traveled to Healy, KS for an A team tournament on Saturday. Game 1 vs Western Plains In the first round of play, the Huskies fell to Western Plains 20-31. The game was tied at 12 when Western Plains went on a 19-point run to take a commanding lead. Aaron Horacek led the Huskies in both scoring and rebounding with eight points and 11 rebounds. Other scoring contributors for Northern Valley included Bryson Wilder (6 points), Colt Rogers (3 points), Max Wilder (2 points), and Colton Ledbetter (1 point). Game 1 comments from Coach Boehler This was a frustrating loss because I felt that we were in control for the majority of the game. Western Plains put a full court press on us in the 2nd half and we could not execute our press break against it. That's when they went on their big run and it was too tough for us to come back from. We have been practicing different press breaks for weeks but that was the first time the boys had seen a full court press this season, and probably ever for most of them. I am hoping that we learn from the experience. We also went 2-16 from the free throw line, and you are probably never going to win shooting that low of a percentage on free throws. Game 2 vs Tri-Plains/Brewster Northern Valley lost to Tri-Plains/Brewster 14-33 in the 3rd/4th place game Saturday afternoon. Aaron Horacek led the team in scoring and rebounding with 10 points and 6 rebounds. Bryson Wilder (2 points) and Colt Rogers (2 points) helped out Northern Valley JH Huskies A as well. Game 2 comments from Coach Boehler We got off to a bad start which has been the story in 3 of our first 4 games this year. One of our goals moving forward in the coming weeks is going to be to execute well for 4 quarters, we can't put ourselves in a hole early on and we can't have the big runs or big quarters that have hurt us at times. Cash Compton had another great game full of hustle and effort. Aaron Horacek led the offense for us with his inside scoring and I thought that Colt Rogers made some great passes, especially in the 2nd half once he got a feel for how to attack their defense. The results have not been there, but I am proud of the effort I am seeing from the boys. Even when things are not going well they are always giving great effort on the court. We are all going to keep working hard to try and get better and find some success.

It was a rough start to the season with a 0-36 loss but the junior Lady Huskies showed a lot of potential. They are a young, inexperienced team that showed they are willing to put forth the effort and never give up, working hard until the end of the game. Our defense improved and the girls found more shot opportunities in the second half but nothing fell. We will continue to work on ball movement, attacking the basket and defense before our next game at Logan. Assistant Coach McKinney’s Comments – The B-team girls were diligent in their first game and worked out some kinks. Their willingness to try new things and adjust as the game progressed was great.

A Game Northern Valley JH Huskies A couldn't keep up with Wheatland/Grinnell, losing 42-8. Aaron Horacek led Northern Valley JH Huskies A in scoring with four points. Colt Rogers pounded the glass, collecting eight rebounds to lead Northern Valley. Additional scorers for Northern Valley included Bryson Wilder (2 points) and Colt Rogers (2 points).B Game The NVJH Boys lost to Grinnell/Wheatland 37-6. Grinnell/Wheatland went on a 14-point run to start the game and never looked back. The Huskies B team also struggled with taking care of the ball. Jaden Johns led Northern Valley in scoring with four points. Colton Ledbetter also contributed for Northern Valley JH Huskies scoring two points. Comments from coach Max Boehler I think for a lot of our B team players it was their first time playing organized basketball, so there were a lot of nerves. Hopefully now they have some butterflies out and the game can slow down a little bit for them and play more under control. As for the A team, they have to take care of the ball better. We made a lot of bad passes and had way too many turnovers for us to have any chance. We'll need to improve our decision making and our transition defense also needs a lot of improvement. Fortunately for us we have a handful of practices before our next game.

The last few weeks 3rd graders have been learning about the election and have been working on preparing to hold an actual mock election. Elaina, Sofia, and Vanessa worked on a "favorite pets" election and Aria, Owen, and Shanna Lyn worked on the presidential election. We made voting boxes, held a mock election with the PreK 4y/o-4th grade students, counted ballots, recounted ballots and posted the results in the elementary! We have really enjoyed learning about the presidential election and we are anxiously awaiting the actual results! Extra thank you to the Long Island ladies at the voting site for donating the "I VOTED" stickers for each of the students to wear! They loved them!!

Coach Hansen’s final comments on the season, “I am so proud of the work these girls have put in this season. We knew coming in this year that we would face some challenges and that we would have to be adaptable. This group came to practice every day ready to put the work in. Of course, we would have loved to continue our season or see more success, but they left it all out there every time they stepped on the court. We wish our 5 seniors the best, they will be missed.” 2024 WKLL All League Honors: Delaney Side and Tatum Lentz – 2nd Team Stat Leaders for 2024 Season (per HUDL): Kills – Delaney Sides with 157 Digs – Haley Hansen with 242 Blocks – Tatum Lentz with 20 Assists – Haedyn Cox with 204 Ace Serves – Delaney Sides with 49 Serving – Landry Gebhard with 93.8% Thanks to all of the fans for your support this season!
