FORT HALL — The Sho-Ban Lady Chiefs lost a tough game 48 to 36 to Watersprings January 4 at home and Coach Char Perdash attributed it to turnovers with bad passes.
In addition, one of the starters got into foul trouble early in the first half.
“Also our shots weren’t falling,” she said. “Our defense was strong — just need to watch our reaching in — that gets us in trouble.”

FORT HALL — The Sho-Ban Chiefs lost their first game of the season to Watersprings Warriors 60 to 25 at home January 4.
Sho-Ban Coach Sonny Dixey said they met a very well disciplined, really good team. “It showed we were unprepared for them. It’s gonna be a different game when we meet them again.” Turnovers killed the Chiefs and Watersprings played their defense really well. “It was hard to get the ball inside to penetrate inside and it’s something we will work on.”
Sonny said he told the boys to keep their heads up and play hard because they’ll run into teams like the Warriors so it won’t be the first time.
