Miners keep trying

The Hanna, Elk Mountain, Medicine Bow (HEM) Miner High School basketball team faced one of the strongest basketball teams in the state for their first game of the season. The Burlington Huskies beat the Miners in a convincing manner. The HEM team didn’t get a lot of time to get more experience under their belts before meeting again on December 15.

“Difficult start to the tournament opening up with Burlington again on Friday,” HEM head basketball coach Cliff Jones said. “We played better as the tournament progressed.” Burlington 7-1, beat the Miners 80 to 17.
