CHEYENNE –Coming out of December with a 3-5 record, the Tiger boys work in progress continues to evolve. Three bigger schools on the docket at the massive Taco Johns Invitational last weekend, would see three quality opponents for NCHS.
Thursday morning at Cheyenne South’s JV, Lusk had a chance to avenge a loss at Tiger Gym last month. The Bison took an early advantage and went to halftime up 19-16. NCHS battled back before taking a lead late in the game. Senior Teagan Tschacher made key free throws down the stretch as the Tigers won 39-36.

Friday evening at Storey Gym, the Kelly Walsh JV looked a bit like the Thunder Basin team that visited our Jamboree this year. Long, athletic shooters helped the Trojans to a 31-6 lead at the break. Lusk’s shooting woes continued, while KW found the three point line very inviting. They buried nine in the game and had the Tiger defense frazzled by the end of the 60-12 final score.

Saturday morning, again at Storey Gym the Tigers faced the Wheatland JV. The close, early back and forth action was just an early leadup to the finish.

A late, deep trey from Wheatland tied the game at the end of regulation, before they snuck away with the 54-52 overtime win.
