North Gem Cheerleaders present the colors before the game.
The Lady Cowboys earned two wins in their first two games of the season. North Gem had a balanced attack with a real team effort in both games.
The week started off at Watersprings Christian Academy in Idaho Falls for the Cowboys. The game had a slow start with both teams struggling to put points on the board. In a low scoring affair the first quarter ended all tied up at four points a piece. In the second quarter things improved just slightly for the Cowboys. Dally Frandsen led the way for North Gem in the second quarter scoring five of the team's seven points. As they headed to the locker room for halftime the Lady Cowboys held a three point lead. The game would stay close in the third quarter. The two teams battled back and forth and when the quarter ended North Gem had matched their second quarter total and now led by five. The fourth quarter is where the Lady Cowboys closed the door on the Warriors. North Gem held the Warriors scoreless in the final period while adding four more points to their total.
The Lady Cowboys followed up their first road win by hosting American Heritage at home on Saturday night. This time North Gem took an early lead and never looked back. By halftime the Lady Cowboys had doubled up the Patriots. The second half would start with the Patriots having their highest point total of any quarter of the game but still came three points short of the Cowboys third quarter total. The Cowboys continued to get better as the game went on and put up fifteen points in the fourth as they cruised to a 2-0 start for the season. Eight different girls scored in this game showing their team depth.
The Lady Cowboys will stay busy next week with two home games and a road trip. They will host Taylors Crossing and Grace Lutheran before going on the road to Leadore to finish the week.
