After coming off a tight win against the Milford Tigers the Badgers were excited to out to battle for state. As the Badgers suited up to face off against the Mustangs everyone was on the edge of their seat hoping to put up a win.

On Wednesday February 17th, was the day of the play-ins for region. Wayne played Escalante at home. This game would decide what bracket they would be going into for region. Wayne won against Escalante 59-35. On Friday the 19th, it was the first game of region, and Wayne played Milford. This was a pretty good game, but the Wayne girls fell behind in the first half, making it hard to catch up in the second half. Wayne played super hard the second half and caught up quite a bit but it wasn’t enough. Wayne ended up losing to Milford 54-40. For the second day of region the girls were going to be playing for 3rd and 4th place, and would be playing Valley. These teams played each other 3 times before, Valley winning one of them and Wayne winning the other two. This was a close game, not really one that had been in head for too long. Valley had out scored Wayne in the first quarter, but Wayne kept up with them in the other quarters. Valley had scored a few at the end of the fourth quarter and they won. Overall for region the Wayne girls took 4th place!
