Our Lady Bombers were 8-2 during the regular season and they won 2 of their 3 games at the conference tournament. They were able to beat Whiteside and Grant but lost to Shiloh when our excellent shooters finally went a little cold. They showed a lot of character and heart after a tough loss though and continued to earn a very respectable 3rd place victory at the end of the day. Your coaches are very proud of you girls and how much you improved throughout the season. Coach Weiler will be in touch about an end of the season party once all jerseys are turned in. Go Bombers!

Top scorers were Kingston J. with 17, Jordan W. with 6, and CJ W, Lance W, and Donta C. with 4. Then, the boys took on Whiteside. After playing 2 games in a row, the boys were extremely tired. After falling to Whiteside, the boys were in the 3-4 place game against Central JH, the number 1 ranked team. After playing three games in a row, the boys pulled it together to work together as a team. Although tired, the boys managed to score 35 points against Central Junior High, but it was not enough, ultimately listing 41-35.

Also scoring for the Bombers were Jashawn H, Kyle J, Dorian B, and JaCorey B.

Mrs. Eells will explain everything again beforehand, but feel free to email her if you have any questions about anything. Goooo Bombers!

The 7th grade girls’ basketball team finished up an excellent season by earning the 3rd place trophy at the conference tournament on Saturday. Our Lady Bombers were 8-2 during the regular season and they won 2 of their 3 games at the conference tournament. They were able to beat Whiteside and Grant but lost to Shiloh when our excellent shooters finally went a little cold. They showed a lot of character and heart after a tough loss though and continued to earn a very respectable 3rd place victory at the end of the day. Your coaches are very proud of you girls and how much you improved throughout the season. Coach Weiler will be in touch about an end of the season party once all jerseys are turned in. Go Bombers!
The 7th grade boys’ basketball had an amazing tournament here at Belle Valley to get 4th place in the Conference tournament. The Bombers took on Shiloh for the first game winning 40-34. Top Scorers were Donta C. with 12, Kingston J. and Jordan W. with 10, and CJ W. with 3. The next game was against the number 2 ranked team in the tournament, Belleville West. After losing to them on Thursday, the boys turned it up a notch and ended up winning 35-28. The boys played amazing defense, moving the ball and handling the press. Top scorers were Kingston J. with 17, Jordan W. with 6, and CJ W, Lance W, and Donta C. with 4. Then, the boys took on Whiteside. After playing 2 games in a row, the boys were extremely tired. After falling to Whiteside, the boys were in the 3-4 place game against Central JH, the number 1 ranked team. After playing three games in a row, the boys pulled it together to work together as a team. Although tired, the boys managed to score 35 points against Central Junior High, but it was not enough, ultimately listing 41-35. Top scores for the game were Donta C, Kingston J, and Jordan W. with 10, CJ W. with 3 and Lance W. with 2. Great Job on a great season, boys!
The Bombers 8th grade boys’ basketball team suffered a heartbreaking overtime loss to the St. Clair Knights this past Saturday at the Grant Shootout.

Also scoring for the Bombers were Jashawn H, Kyle J, Dorian B, and JaCorey B.

5th & 6th Grade Boys’ Basketball should change and report to Coach Kaiping’s room before getting on the bus.
The 7th grade boys’ basketball team took on Whiteside last night. After coming out slow to a very dominant Whiteside, the boys started to find their groove moving the ball, driving into the lane, picking up rebounds down low, and staying out of foul trouble. Kingston J.s led the way with 10 points followed by Jordan W. with 3 and Raefael T. with 2. Although it wasn’t the outcome we wanted, the boys kept their heads high, working together as a team.
The Bombers 8th grade boys’ basketball team suffered a tough loss to the Whiteside Warriors last night with a final score of 33 to 23. The Bombers played phenomenal team defense shutting down the Warrior’s outside shot and slowing down their inside game. Unfortunately, the Bombers could not produce on offense and only made 4 out of 12 free throws. Scoring for the Bombers last night were Jashawn H, Kyle J, Terrio B, Dorian B, Kelondre M, and Jodi W. The Bombers will need to bounce back quickly with having an away game tonight against the High Mount Trojans.
All 7th and 8th grade players should stay after school today and meet in Coach Strausbaugh’s room. The bus will leave Belle Valley at 4:15 pm. The 7th grade game tips-off at 5:00 pm and the 8th grade game tips-off at 6:00 pm. Let’s Go Bombers!
Happy birthday to Ernest W!

5th grade girls’ basketball team lost last night to St. Teresa, but the girls are really showing growth on the court. The girls were aggressive, running plays correctly, and made major improvements in their dribbling. Zae’Riel W. had 2 points and did terrific on holding the ball and rebounding, Trinity J. had a free throw point and was really strong under the basket. Laila S. and Kalis H. hustled and were aggressive. Harper K. was guarding and Kamryn D. blocked several passes. Mikayla L. and Kynadie T. were staying on their players. Very proud of all the hard work they are putting in. We are hoping for our first win against Smithton tonight.

Ramiyah Y. did a fantastic job passing the ball to her teammates, playing tough defense, being aggressive on offense, and scoring 12 points. Ramiyah and Vanessa stayed strong and both played the entire game. Canaa S. is becoming a very good basketball player. She intercepts passes from other teams, stays aggressive, goes in for rebounds, and is great at calling out plays. Keep it up Canaa! Meea R. played very well last night too. She had a lot of rebounds and scored 2 points. Amaudra N. has the best sportsmanship out there on the court. She plays aggressive but helps out others when they’re hurt, even if they’re on the opposing team. Lillian M. and Ava G. did a good job playing man to man defense and staying on guard. Nice job to Zae’Reil W. for playing tough and working hard on the basketball court! And thanks to our fifth graders Harper K, Zae’Riel W, Kelis H, and Laila S. who played up for the 6th grade team.
