DAYVILLE — The Dayville/Monument boys and girls basketball teams enjoyed a successful week, notching three wins each over Mitchell/Spray, Burnt River and Harper/Huntington.

The Tiger girls had trouble finding the basket at first, hosting Mitchell/Spray in Dayville on Jan. 5, but came out aggressive in the second half, winning 40-21.

“Shots started to fall, and Kyla Emerson had a lot of offensive rebounds that helped us get second shots,” said head coach Taylor Schmedeka.

A strong defense helped the Lady Tigers beat Burnt River 32-19 at their home court in Monument last Friday.

“Our trap worked well, and Bailey Thomas shot very well for us in that game,” Schmedeka said.

The team scored several points off turnovers in Saturday’s 59-25 road win against Harper/Huntington in Harper.

“Ravyn Walker shot very well, and Danielle Rhoda had another good game with rebounds and points in the paint,” the coach said.

The Dayville boys are currently at the top in the High Desert League and ranked No. 10 with an 11-3 overall record and 2-0 in league.

They chalked up three wins: 63-29 against Mitchell/Spray, 72-32 over Burnt River and 47-27 on the road against Harper/Huntington.

In the boys’ game against Mitchell/Spray, the scoring was close throughout.

“It’s always a tough team,” said head coach Jeff Schafer.

He said the Tigers moved the ball well and were aggressive on rebounds.

Overall for the week, he said the wins were good for the amount of traveling they did, but the bigger test will be later this week when they face Jordan Valley and Adrian on the road.
