Get your screaming voice ready fans because it’s basketball season, and if you believe in love at first sight then this year’s girls basketball team might have just hooked ya. The girls played the Rigby Trojans Friday November 10. Sure, they might have lost 55-50, but it was a dang good game. It may be too soon to tell, but this year might just be the year we break out of our rut.

   Coach Courtnie Smith believes the girls’ chemistry and keeping the girls healthy and uninjured are the only things getting in the way of their chance at State.   

“Since I’ve been in Blackfoot, this is by far the best team, chemistry wise. They get along and have fun on the court,” Smith said.

  Blackfoot also won both their games in the Jamboree on Tuesday November 7.

  “I think if we play like we have been playing, we’ll be hard to beat in our conference play,” Smith said.

“I feel like if we keep practicing and working as hard as we have been then we have a pretty good chance this season,” Rylee Neff (10) said.

  Many might have speculated that the only freshman on varsity this year, Tenleigh Smith (9), is only on the team because her mom is coach. I’m here to tell you she can sure hold her own and her teammates agree.

“If anyone else was the coach, Tenleigh would still be on Varsity. She’s an amazing point-guard, and we need her,” Olivia Arave (11) said.

The Lady Broncos play their next game Wednesday November 15 at Bonneville.
