The Bobcats A team girls faced a very tough and much taller Hermon Hawks team wiht only one loss on the season. The first half was a see-saw battle with many lead changes, ending with a 16-16 halftime score. The Bobcats came out in the second half and turned up the intensity defensively and in rebounding action, which led to lots of transition scores. MJHS outscored their opponent 20-3 in the second half on their way to a 39-19 victory. Vanessa Morse led the scoring with 11, followed by Izzy Morin's 8. Arrianna Michaels and Rylee Cyr both finished with 6 points each. Tae del Cruz , Lilly Kronholm and Bella Kronholm led the rebounding while Kiara Niles and Tiawna Rich played well at both ends. Hope Gray, Riley Springer, and Natalie Cloukey all contributed and got valuable minutes. GO BOBCATS!

Maddox Arthers came off the bench and chipped in with 7 points to help the Bobcats improve to 3-1 on the season. Go Bobcats!

On Monday, a very tall Ridge View team came to MJHS to take on the Girl's A team in their season opener. The first half showed that Ridge View was not to be taken lightly, as the game was back and forth the entire half, with the Bobcats taking a four point lead into the locker room at halftime. During the second half the speed and relentless team defense of MJHS prevailed and led to lots of easy hoops in transition. The Bobcats came away with the 33-22 victory thanks to a full team effort and contributions from all 12 players. Rylee Cyr, Vanessa Morse, and Izzy Morin all scored some timely baskets to lead the team offensively. GO BOBCATS!
