win over
St. Pat’s
The
Altoona-Midway
Middle School Lady Jets
basketball team hosted the
St. Pats’ Saints Thursday,
posting their first win of the
season, 22-15. The Lady Jets led
each quarter the entire
game, shutting down the
Saints’ defense. The Lady
Jets were able to put many
points on the board from the
inside block. Michala Kinzle led the
Jets with 11 points, followed
by Anna Pierce with seven;
and Abigale Reaves with
four. The Lady Jets played
well, closing out the 2014
semester on a high note and
are looking forward to 2015
and the remainder of the
season.
The A-MMS got off to
a slow start against the
Saints, falling behind 31-11
by half, but their defense
picked up the second half
allowing only 12 points. The Jets fell to St. Pats
by a score of 22-43.
The boys will enjoy
a short break during the
Christmas break but will
be back to work during the
winter open gym sessions
starting on Dec. 29.

FMS Yellowjacket boys
split with Timberwolves
Fredonia Middle School
basketball teams traveled to
Galesburg on Thursday to take
on the Timber Wolves.
The first game saw the
seventh-grade evenly matched.
In the first half, the score
was tied at the end of the
first quarter and the ‘Jackets
trailing by a point at the end of
the second.
Some defensive breakdowns
and not screening out allowed
the Wolves to build a fivepoint margin at the end of the
third quarter, 26-21. In the
final quarter, FMS caught fire,
getting several easy baskets
while holding Galesburg to two
free throws defensively. The
boys were able to pull away and
take a 35-28 win.
Leading rebounders were
Grayson Coulter, Ty Ivy and
Sheldon Shaw. Leading scorer
was Cooper Odell with 13
points, followed by Coulter with
eight points; Isaac Couch seven;
Ivey, four; and Shaw, three. The
seventh-grade boys are 2-2.
The eighth-grade ‘Jackets
slowly fell behind during the
A WORD FROM THE WORD
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
— LUKE 2:11
Jesus came to be our savior. Most people don’t even know
that they need saved. They think that the are alright just
the way they are. I guess they don’t need Jesus. But for
those who recognize that they are lost, and always have
been, these are the greatest words in all of history.

with the Yellowjackets overall
percentage of 40.5. Fredonia
committed 24 turnovers while
the ‘Cats coughed up the ball 20
times.
“Offensively, we finally got
something going in the second
half,” Casteel said. “We have
struggled against pressure
man defense but we may have
turned the corner in this game.
We got better movement in the
second half and did a much
better job of both setting and
using screens. As a result, we
started looking to score instead
of looking to survive.”
The ‘Jacket girls put up a
good fight in the second half
against the deep Burlington
bench, trailing by just five total
points, but the early deficit
proved too much to overcome.
“I thought the girls kept
fighting back,” Casteel said.
“They didn’t back off. I think
that is the best thing that
came out of this one. The early
returns of Tri-Valley League
teams show that there won’t be
any easy games the rest of the
way. Every night is going to be
a battle.”
Malorrie Kukovich and
Dakota Corle combined for the
bulk of Fredonia’s points, scoring
13 apiece. Wildcat Malory
Wagner led all shooters with
17 points, the only Burlington
player in double figures, but 11
players contributed to the score.
As the season breaks for
the holidays, Caney Valley’s
Lady Bullpups top the TVL list
with a 3-0 record. Cherryvale
and Erie are tied at 4-1 while
Humboldt is 4-2. Eureka comes
in at .500 with a 3-3 early
mark and Fredonia is 2-3 while
Burlington is 2-4. Neodesha
and Yates Center are both 1-4.
TVL play begins at the end of
January.
Fredonia’s first game after
the break will be Jan. 2 at home
with visiting Cherryvale.

game because of turnovers. The
Jackets trailed by five at the end
of the first quarter and by 14
at the half, 22-8. A better third
quarter defensively didn’t allow
the Wolves to increase their
lead but in the final quarter the
Wolves held on to the margin to
take a 40-24 win.
James

Jaden
Schmidt and Bryar Hebb led
the ‘Jackets in rebounding.
