Varsity
Girls Basketball Season Wrap-Up
--The Varsity Girls Basketball team rounded out their
successful season in winning fashion last weekend.
After suffering a tough 58-50 first-round loss to
Twin Falls
on Thursday, the opening day of the
Idaho
State
tournament, the ladies were faced with a formidable task
of meeting league rival Borah in the consolation bracket.
The Lions had previously bested the Braves during both
regular season match-ups, but the tides changed for
Friday's contest. The Braves, led by the inspired
forces of Freshman Jordin Juker (12 points, 17 rebounds)
and Senior Kelsie Clegg (16
points, 8 rebounds), outplayed the Lions in this true test
of pride. Senior Kayla Kumar and Junior Kristen
Simonson also did their part in the win with 13 points and
12 points respectively, closing the door on Borah's prior
domination 62-51.
Friday's win seeded the Braves in one final game of the
season against league foe Centennial in an early-morning
contest played at
Columbia
High School
. Coach Brydges again preached pride and heart as
she prepared her team to face the Patriots who had won all
three previous matchups during the season. The
Braves jumped out to an early lead thanks to a
sharp-shooting Kristen Simonson and never trailed in the
game. Simonson ended the game with a team-high 15
points with Juker contributing 10, and Junior point guard
Macy Egerman chipping in 9 to seal the win.
Saturday's win helped the Braves post a respectable 19-7
season record and earned them the Consolation Championship
trophy denoting 5th place overall. It especially was
a sweet end for our seniors Kelsie Clegg, Kayla Kumar,
Danielle Ariss, Brittany Rhoades, and Barbara Gardner.
They will be greatly missed next year!
A special thank you goes out to all who have supported the
Lady Braves this year! We've been fortunate to have
such great representation by our fans, our cheerleaders,
our pep band, and members of the community! We
hope to see you in the gym again next winter season!
GO BRAVES! –Coach
Brydges
JV
Boys Basketball Season wrap-up --The
Braves wrapped up their season with a tough home loss to
Caldwell
in a game where the offense could not get untracked losing
46 to 39. Craig Ode led in scoring with 7, Steven
Carson and Erik Nielsen added 6 and Nick Hill had 5.
Ode also led in rebounds with 5 and Ian Rumpp pulled down
4. Craig Ode was the leading assist maker with 3.
Overall
the Braves finished with a record of 8 wins and 12 losses.
The JV league was very balanced and the Braves were very
competitive evidenced by their season averages of scoring
54.8 points per game and giving up 54 points per game.
The JV Braves of 2006-2007 were Cameron Lorensen, Nick
Hill, Steven Carson, Erik Nielsen, Ian Rumpp, Grayson
Laurino, Casey Coberly, Craig Ode, Zach Hill and Cooper
Findlay. For
the season Ian was the leading scorer, followed by
Craig, Cooper and Nick. Craig led in
rebounding, followed by Cooper, Zach and Grayson.
Erik was the leader in assists followed by Casey.
Erik also led in steals followed by Grayson, Cooper and
Nick. Craig was the swat king, blocking more shots
than the rest of his team combined. Ian was the
leading three point shooter followed by Nick. Ian
led in free throw percentage; Cooper had the most free
throws made. –Mike
Hill
Sophomore
Boys Basketball
- The sophomore boys ended their season on a positive note
last Tuesday, beating Caldwell HS by ten, 64 - 54. Zack
Fox led the way with 14 points, and Max Chambers saved his
best performance for last, chipping in 9 points and many
rebounds. The game was an overall team performance with
every teammate helping out in the effort. Unfortunately
our record kept us out of the district tournament, but we
ended the season with a win and the young men showed great
improvement over the season. Thanks to everyone involved
and your support over the season. See you next year!
--Coach
Lange
JV
Hockey Update
--The Braves played
Meridian
tough with a short-handed squad, but came up short 6-3.
We have 2 regular season games remaining, then on to the
playoffs. Come on out and support the team. Go
Braves! –Coach
Cindrich
Congratulations

Results
are in from the community
school calendar survey. The online survey, which was
conducted in November and December 2006 by the Boise
School District, asked parents and District staff members
for input regarding possible changes to the starting and
ending dates for the 2008-09 school year. “The results
do not indicate sufficient support for changing the
current school calendar,” said District Calendar
Committee Chairman Joe Gordon. “Therefore, we will
continue to stay with the traditional school calendar.”
