The NCHS boys basketball team opened the 2018-19 season at the Herder Classic in Glenrock last weekend against three quality teams from Big Horn, Thermopolis and Kaycee.
Friday afternoon the Tigers were nervous against the Rams (#5 Wyopreps) and dug a big hole early. BH went on a 17-0 run in the second quarter and led 26-2 at the half. After that NCHS settled down and played the Rams closer but the lead was too much in the 44-23 final score.

The 3A Bobcats would be a tough test for the Tigers Friday night and Lusk had their chances, just not in time. Thermopolis led 23-18 at the half, and proved to be dangerous from deep as they sank six of 17 from beyond the arc. The Tigers new offense is still a work in progress and couldn’t come back in the 46-36 final score.
