Sunday, January 7th the 8th Grade WBDA Girls competed in a tournament in North Bend, NE. The team was placed in a 3 team round robin division, which included Seward and Wahoo. Wayne’s games were played back-to-back and they were up for the challenge. They first played Seward and came out with the 40-28 win due to pressure defense and keeping their turnovers under double digits. In the second game versus Wahoo, Wayne fought hard throughout. It was a close game where the largest lead was 6 points, but in the end free throws determined the winner and gave Wayne the 35-31 win. It was a great first tournament for the 8th Grade Girls! Congratulations Players and Coaches on the 1st Place Finish! #wayneyouthbasketball
