Parents’ Night
Parents’ Night will be January 25th. Stanton Booster Club will be taking pictures starting at 5:00 PM with the girls and at 5:30 PM with the boys and their parents in the concourse till 6:00 PM.
Viqueen Basketball
The Viqueens found themselves in a defensive battle at Griswold on January 8th. With the Queens leading at half 14-11 a genuine dog fight to the end was apparent. Coach Snyder said, "Going scoreless in the 3rd period and only being down 4 points going into the 4th quarter was fortunate, against a one-loss team." With 8 for 41 shooting combined with two starters fouling out the Queen's chance of an upset faded. Final score was 21-32.
The Viqueens picked up a Corner Conference win last Friday defeating East Mills 39-32. Stanton never trailed in the game that would not be decided until the final seconds. The win was much need as the Queens had been on a three-game skid.
After jumping out to a 13-5 first quarter lead the Queens were outscored 22-17 in quarters 2 and 3. Clinging to a 3 point lead 3 pointers by Shelby Brockshus and Kami Tibben helped to regain a manageable margin and secure the victory.
Stanton girls opened up Corner Conference Tournament play with a victory over Essex. Stanton came into the tourney as the fourth seed and a 6-7 record.
Stanton's slow start though looked to jeopardize the chances of staying in the tournament. The defensive steals in the second half lead by Shelby Brockshus (10 steals) paved the way for fastbreak layups most notably by Hope Ogletree who led all scorers with 23. Defensively the Queens held the Trojanettes to 7 points the second half and cruising to a 47-21 win.
Viking Basketball
Tuesday we started the Conference Tournament off with a 69 - 25 win over Essex at Clarinda Academy. We then played at Fremont-Mills vs Fremont-Mills in a semi-final game on Wednesday night and advanced on with a 69-55 win over the Knights. We took on East Mills Thursday night in the championship contest. This is the 4th straight year we have played in the championship game winning it in 2016 and 2018.
Junior High Girls Basketball
The season is winding down for the Viqueens. We traveled to Tabor last Thursday and played two complete games with them. Both games were extremely physical, but the girls competed well. The "A" game finished with a W, 34-19. Also the "B" game finish with a win, 32-15. We have recently been in action with the Lenox Tigers. The full game ended in a win, 54-15. Then the two extra quarters also finished with a victory, 18-4. The team is back on the court with the Essex Trojanettes on Tuesday, January 22nd. There will be only one full game starting at 4:00 PM in Essex. Please come out to watch the Viqueens play their last game!
