Ukiah/Long Creek girls finish season

The Ukiah/Long Creek girls basketball team lost two over the weekend to Four Rivers and Jordan Valley, 37-68 and 65-25, respectively.

Ukiah/Long Creek head coach Amos Studtman said, in the first game, Four Rivers’ shooters were successful from the 3-point line, and that created a deficit from which the Ukiah/Long Creek girls could not come back.

“We played well,” he said. “We passed the ball well and played really good defense.”

He said Jordan Valley (17-7, 7-1) was much more experienced and had more depth than his team.

Studtman said, despite the score of the game, the team never gave up.

“I told them that it’s not what you have, it is what you give,” Studtman said. “Regardless of the score, I feel like we took a win.”

Studtman said the girls kept their heads up and overall had a good season.
