🏀 A GREAT WEEK TO BE AN OWL! 🦉
Our Ninnekah 5th- and 6th-grade boys and girls basketball teams had an outstanding showing at the inaugural Ninnekah Elementary Basketball Tournament, both bringing home THIRD PLACE! 🏆❤️🖤
The boys opened tournament play with a 28–22 victory over Rush Springs before facing a tough AM-PO team in the second round. On Saturday, they battled the Verden Tigers in the third-place game, earning a hard-fought 30–27 win to secure their spot on the podium!
The girls also started strong with a victory over Rush Springs before coming up short against AM-PO. On the final day, they faced Alex, a team that had beaten them earlier in the season. Our girls came ready to compete and earned the win in the third-place game!
These teams showed tremendous heart, teamwork, and determination throughout the tournament. Their hard work reflects the dedication they’ve shown over the past two months and the lessons their coaches have instilled in them.
We are so proud of these young Owls and all they have accomplished! The future is bright for Ninnekah basketball, and these teams are just getting started! 🦉🏀
Congratulations to our 5th- and 6th-grade boys and girls on bringing home third place! GO OWLS! ❤️🖤
