Bulldogs Trounce Pirate Teams

By Dave Belcher

Moapa Valley Progress

Have you ever anticipated a feast and instead ate a dirt clod. As the dirt clod melts in your mouth it goes between the teeth, between the cheek and gum to give you the full flavor of “dirt”. It doesn’t matter how much you rinse your mouth the grit and the nasty feeling is still there. That’s how I felt after the Friday night feast.

The Virgin Valley Bulldogs came to town on Friday, January 21. Expectations were high and the crowds turned out to see some serious basketball. But when it was all over, the Dawgs went home with all the marbles.

Lady Pirates:

The Lady Pirates dropped to 0-2 in the league and were beaten 29-48 by the Bulldogs. The first quarter ended 3-9 Bulldogs.

Moapa couldn’t buy a hoop! Sprague hit a free throw with 3:51 left in the 1st. Paige Leavitt got a tip in with 1:17 left.

The second quarter Moapa scored seven and trialed 10-23 at the half.

It was 16-39 after the third.

Boys Varsity:

The second course. Twelve days had gone by when the Pirates and Bulldogs tipped off between games for Moapa. The alarm clock didn’t go off or maybe the snooze button was hit one too many times. Virgin Valley beat Moapa 53-28 to own sole possession of first place in the south.

VVHS’ Cameron Jensen (or “that #5 kid”) seemed to knock down every “3” ball he shot. Moapa seemed to miss every shot.

The score was 1-9 with one minute in the first when Thompson hit his only “3” ball of the night and Moapa was down 4-11 after the 1st.

It was 13-26 at the half.

Six points were scored by Moapa in the third: Cooper’s only lay-up to go in, Lewis’ jump shot and Thompson’s lay-up.

It was 19-37 going into the 4th. Moapa got nine more in the fourth and the Bulldogs howled in excitement with a 28-53 win.

Thompson led Moapa with 7 points.

Jensen had 17 points to lead the Dawgs. They meet again in the Dawg house February 11. Set your alarms.

I have to rinse my mouth again.
