Grizzlies Look Ahead For Senior Night Win

The Grace Grizzlies have had a somewhat tumultuous season.  While they have been very competitive in several of their games, wins have been hard to come by.  The Grizzlies have also had to deal with several injuries throughout the season.  Some of those injuries have been season ending for players while other players have had to gut it out and play with nagging injuries for much of the season.  Even with a record of 7-12 the Grizzlies still have a real shot at making the state tournament and right now are on a two game winning streak with just one game left in the regular season.  

The Grizzlies most recent win came last Saturday in Oakley against the Hornets.  Unfortunately this was a game that I was not able to watch so I don’t have a breakdown on how things went.  What we do know is that the Grizzlies did just what they were expected to do and what they needed to do by earning a dominant win.  The final score saw the Grizzlies win by thirty-four points with a running clock. 

The Grizzlies are now facing their final game of the regular season and it will be full of emotion.  Not only will it be a chance for the seniors to play their final game on their home court but the game will be against their biggest rival the Butte County Pirates.  The game does have district tournament implications.  In their first matchup in Arco the Pirates got the best of the Grizzlies earning a seven point win.  The Grizzlies did not have their best performance in that game and will be looking for redemption on Friday night in Grace.  In order for the Grizzlies to earn the top seed in the upcoming tournament the Grizzlies not only need to win but will have to win by a larger margin than the Pirates did on their home court.  This should be a very exciting game to watch so get out and support the seniors and the team as a whole as they try to secure the number one seed in their district.
