Lady Bulldogs fall at Bigfork

At Bigfork, the initial game plan drawn up by the visiting Lady Bulldogs entailed playing the host Vals closer than in their previous meeting in which Mission scored five dozen in a four point loss during which they place a trio in double figures with a fourth knocking on the door. While their defense held Bigfork by just under two dozen below what they scored the last time, the Lady Bulldog offense simultaneously sputtered through three quarters before their engine started to synchronize. But by that time, the differential would be too great to overcome in the alloted time remaining.

The Lady Bulldogs travel to Eureka on Friday, then host Deer Lodge on Saturday.
