NEWELL—The Newell Irrigators’ basketball season kicked off with a double header at home against the Harding County Ranchers on Friday, December 8.
The game was a loss for both the girls’ and boys’ teams. But they came back strong the very next day with a massive win against the Bison Cardinals in another double header. The final score for the Lady Irrigators was 60-40, and the boys finished with a score of 68-50.
The Lady Irrigators played their latest game on Friday, December 15 against the Kadoka Kougars. The game was hard-fought and remarkably close; at halftime, the score was 22-17 in favor of the Kougars, but the teams were neck and neck throughout the second half. Unfortunately, the Irrigators turned up just short and ended with a loss. The final score was 52-48.
