Basketball

With a championship trophy on the line, the tenor of the game leaned in the direction of the Chinle boys’ basketball team.

It was about four years ago when the young Newcomb High School boys’ basketball team was as timid as a youthful team could be.

With a precarious three-point advantage, the Rehoboth girls’ basketball team tried to milk some time off the clock last Friday night.

The Shiprock High School Chiefs have taken the court and their coach, Chester Atcitty, Jr., likes what he sees, for the most part.

Buoyed by a 15-0 spurt in the second quarter, the Chinle Lady Wildcats ran past Pinon on Tuesday night.
