| The Briggsdale Falcons hosted and faced the 3rd ranked team in the state on Tuesday, January 17th. Coach Scott Krise said, “The Falcons were able to handle the defensive pressure early and played their best half of basketball all year and led the Coyotes 24 – 22 at half time. In the second half the Coyotes turned up the pressure a notch and the Falcons were not able to effectively handle the full court pressure as they had done in the first half committing 17 turnovers in the second half. This was the first game that Austin Launer was able to play because of CHSSA transfer rules and he made an immediate impact contributing 10 points and 6 rebounds. The Falcons were also led by Tyler Axelson with 11 points and 8 rebounds. The Falcons also had contributions from Caleb Fassler 6 points, Dakota Will-Potter 5 points, Jacob Dilka 5 points, Cash Evans 2 points, Jason Stieber 2 points and 6 rebounds, and Jeremiah Erickson with 1 point.” Prairie 51, Briggsdale 44 The Briggsdale Falcons lost their 2nd straight game on Friday, January 20th losing to the Prairie Mustangs. Coach Krise said, “The Falcons started very slow and were down by a score of 14 – 27 at half time. Dustin Warboys had six 3 pointers for Mustangs in the first half and had 20 of their 27 points in the first half. The Falcons were able to cut the lead down to 4 points late in the 4th quarter but were not able overcome the early hole they found themselves in.” Tyler Axelson led all scorers with 12 points, 8 rebounds and 5 steals and Austin Launer had solid 2nd half with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Jason Stieber had 8 points and 3 rebounds, Jacob Dilka 6 points, Dakota Will- Potter 5 points and 5 rebounds, and Caleb Fassler had 2 points to round out the scoring for the Falcons.

| Briggsdale hosted Pawnee and lost an exciting game. Coach Bob Williams said, “ This last week proved to be a week of though tests for the Briggsdale Lady Falcons. Tuesday night Jan 17, the Falcons faced undefeated and third ranked Pawnee. Coming into the game the Lady Falcons had lost only once, that loss came against Pawnee in the first game of the year. Though the girls played strong, the Coyotes came out on top 53 to 37. The Falcons took an early lead in the game outscoring Pawnee 13 to 10 after the first quarter. The game stayed tight through the second with the Falcons leading 22 to 20. However in the third the Coyotes were able to take advantage of their strong defensive rebounding efforts and create a number of easy scoring opportunities in their fast break game jumping out to a 43 to 29 lead after three quarters. The fourth quarter was another tight quarter as the two teams played even down the stretch.” Mckaea Pfeiff lead the Lady Falcons with 10 points 4 assists and 4 steals. Bethy Shaw scored 6 points and pulled down 6 rebounds. RoAnn Fassler also scored six points while bringing in 4 rebounds. Megan Thormodsgard put 5 points up on the board and had 5 rebounds. Shelby Jeffreys and Morgan Thompson each had 4 points while Tia Konig had 2. The loss was the first loss for the Lady Falcons at home and it was also their first league loss. On Friday Jan 20, the Lady Falcons hosted the Prairie Mustangs and won 46-37. Coach Williams, said, “ While looking to rebound from the loss to Pawnee, The girls knew that Prairie was going to offer another strong test considering that the Mustangs had lost to Pawnee by one point just a week earlier. The game was a hard fought tight game throughout. Prairie played a well disciplined zone defense that forced the Lady Falcons to settle for outside shots most of the first half. Briggsdale took the early lead once again outscoring the Mustangs 10 to 7 in the first. In the second, Prairie fought to within one point by halftime bringing the score to 21 to 20. The two teams struggled back and forth for most of the third until the Lady Falcons were able to hit a series of three pointers coming from Shelby Jeffreys, Jordan Grant, and Mckaea Pfeiff to pull ahead with a score of 35 to 29 at the end of the third. The Lady Falcons were able to finish the game strong from the free-throw line shoot with an impressive 9 of 11 in the fourth alone wrapping up the game 46 to 37. (The Lady Falcons finish the night shooting 17 of 21 from the free-throw line with Megan Thormodsgard shooting a perfect 4 of 4.) The win brings the Lady Falcons record to 9 and 2 with a 5 and 1 league record. Mckaea Pfeiff and Megan Thormodsgard lead the Falcons with 12 points with Mckaea adding 5 assists and Megan bringing in 7 rebounds. Shelby Jeffreys scored 10 points while Tia Konig added 6. Bethy Shaw and Jordan Grant each brought in 3 points. Though Morgan Thompson did not score she played very strong defensively pulling down 6 defensive rebounds. Many of the rebounds came late in the game while the Lady Falcons were holding on to their thin lead. This week the Falcons will play their first road game of January as they head to Dayspring Thursday night and will then finish the week off against Fleming at home on Saturday #40 Roann Fassler and #25 Kylie Hahn scramble for a jump ball Photo and Article Submitted by Dorothy Timm |
