Head Coach Janis tucker was heart broken that the Lady Badgers were unsuccessful over the weekend.

“A roller coaster ride up one minute and down the next was not enough to declare success against the steady paced Kellogg and unpredictable Orofino,” said Tucker.

The Badger took the first game win over Orofino which according to Tucker may have led them to relax a bit too much during the next game.

During the game with Kellogg the Lady Badgers again won their first game.  According to Tucker serving was the cause of their next losses and the team didn’t have the togetherness teams need to be successful. 

“The connection the Badgers required and the gel for the team’s victory just wasn’t there,” said Tucker.

The Lady Badgers play at 4:30 today in Priest River.
