Bucked Off By the Buckaroos

Wayne travelled to Monticello to face off against the Buckaroos.  After the long busy ride Wayne came out and outscored the Buckaroos 16-12.  

As Wayne continued to keep the lead through the second quarter with a score of 27-23 the Buckaroos actually started showing up to play the game.  When half time concluded the Buckaroos came out the a determination to win on their home court.  As they slightly outscored the Badgers they tied the game up at the end of the third 35-35.  Through the rest of the game it was a knock out drag out battle to win.  Wayne fought hard to maintain a lead, but could not over come the Buckaroos second wind.  With the last 3 seconds ticking down and the score tied Monticello drained a 3-pointer for the win.  The Badgers fell to the Buckaroos 48-51.  This is a hard loss late in the season for the Badgers.  Our leading scores for the game was Brynnli Nelson with 16 points and Hannah Morrill with 14 points and the only 3-pointer from Wayne.  Wayne‘s final contact before is on the 20th with Milford at home.  This is also going to be senior night.  Wayne has a lone senior this year and will miss her very much when the season draws to an end.  Sierra Blackburn has played basketball all through high school and we want the wish her good luck in both state and as she moves on adulthood.  Let’s go Badgers take state.
