Saratoga won 15 matches in a Quadrangular meet Thursday night at Hanna-Elk Mountain-Medicine Bow (HEM) in the first of two meets. Saratoga, HEM and North Park competed in the match.
Although the meet was more of a practice session, this was a chance for the wrestlers to get more experience under their belts.

The Panther (2-4), (0-2) basketball team took two difficult losses away from this last weekends’ conference play in Lusk (9-0), (7-0) on Friday, and Pine Bluffs (4-3), (2-2) on Saturday.
Although the Panthers were confident about competing in their first game, coach Sandlian said, “We have to compete for the whole game.”

The 3A Rawlins Outlaws came to play the 1A Encampment Tigers (6-1), (2-0) last Tuesday night in a game that proved the Tigers could hang with anyone. Rawlins is a much bigger school than Encampment but that didn’t phase the Tigers.
“It’s always the same,” head coach Dan Kraft said before the game. “We’ve got to play defense and rebound. It’s our strength and we’ve got to keep doing it every game.”

The Encampment Ladies basketball team couldn’t bag a win on the road last Tuesday and Friday night against the Rock River Longhorns and the North Park Wildcats.
Despite good play from the Tiger team, Encampment trailed the Longhorns for the entire match, finding themselves down 29-37 at the final buzzer.
“We had the third quarter jinx going again as we scored 4 to their 14,” said head coach Amy Clay.

With senior wrestlers at home taking ACTs, it was up to younger Saratoga grapplers to make a statement Dec. 8 at the Soroco Invitational, in Oak Creek, Colo.
Five Saratoga wrestlers placed in four different weight classes at the tournaments’ conclusion.
In the 106-weight class, Bradley Bifano and Daynon Mowry placed first and third respectively.
