FORT HALL — The work on their press made a difference for the Sho-Ban Chiefs December 12 as they defeated the Alturas Pumas 77 to 35 at home.
Sho-Ban coach Pam Lock-Coby said their defense is the best, “We’re good at it and stealing the ball.” She said Bam Sequints had a really good game as he looked and passed the ball. The only thing she’s concerned about is their passing as she thinks they’re a little sloppy. “I’m super proud of them – they did what I asked them to do – they played as a team.”
