Sho-Ban Chief Cordell Wahtomy looks to pass the ball against the Grace Lutheran Royals at their final game on February 6.
FORT HALL — The Sho-Ban Chiefs lost their final game of the season February 6, 37 to 33 to the Grace Lutheran Royals at home.
Chiefs Coach Pam Coby said there were a couple of players out sick. She said they did okay at the beginning of the press, but the big guy on Grace Lutheran hurts them, so they have to figure out how to move over and help each other. They did try a 3-2 defense but that didn’t work because Grace was getting back on them on the back side. Other than that, she said they missed all their little fun shots but they did better on their freethrows.
AJ Graves goes up for the ball against Grace Lutheran.
Sho-Ban Chiefs scores: AJ Graves 13 points, Sky Cree Medicine 10 points, Cordell Wahtomy 6 points, Kezo Coby 4 points. No score: Kyson Brunette, George Tindore, Kobe Bear, Treyston Cerino, Mateo Pahvitse, Wegus Yazzie-Coby.
