Busy Weeked for STRIDE Hoopsters

This weekend brought the first tournament action for the STRIDE 5th-6th grade boys and girls basketball teams. The boys put in a great effort, but came up a little short in all three of their games. They lost against Big Lake in overtime when an opposing player banked a three-pointer at the buzzer. This game had many lead changes and was very exciting. The boys rallied from a 13 point deficit in their final game against Becker. They made an impressive comeback by using a full court press that frustrated the Bulldogs, but ended up down 3 as time expired.

The girls team made their season debut on Sunday against Elk River and Big Lake. The girls worked very hard and did a great job of demonstrating their STRIDE PRIDE. The first game against Elk River was a great learning expeirience. Nnediri U. led all STRIDE scorers with 8 points. The second game against Big Lake was a thriller. There were many lead changes and STRIDE held the lead for most of the first half. When the smoke cleared the score ended up being Big Lake-20 STRIDE-13.
