The Seminole Indian defense was on full display Friday night in Pecos when the Tribe went south and beat the Eagles 79-31.

The game was never really close as the Eagles had a hard time hanging onto the ball and when they did shoot and miss were not given many second chances in their possessions.

The Tribe offense got the job done. Like the Maidens, the basket didn’t seem receptive to the ball going through it in the first half of the first quarter but the Indians figured it out and raced out to a 19-4 first quarter lead.

The Seminole Maiden basketball team traveled down to Greenwood High School Tuesday night with the District 2-4A first position on the line.

Beginning the game, the Maidens and Rangers had identical 4-0 district records and the game represented the halfway point in the district season.

As expected, the game was close pretty much throughout with each team trading quarters in the first half but the Maidens eventually wore down Greenwood to win 63-52 to take sole possession of first place in the district.

Seminole Maiden senior Robin Franklin is on a mission this year. She has realized since the end of summer that with the threat of COVID-19, that every game she plays might be her last so she wants to make it count.

The Seminole Indian basketball team played their first two games of the District 2-4A season this past week and won both games in convincing fashion.

Tuesday, the Tribe opened up against Andrews on the road and with a tough defense and consistent offense, pulled away from the Mustangs for the 74-37 victory.
