This weekend the Bucs played their final conference games of the regular season against the Hutchison Hawks.
In the first game Valdez jumped to an early lead. Our seniors led the way offensively with their relentless attacking and good shooting. The defensive pressure led to a number of Hawks’ turnovers which furthered our lead. In the end the Bucs won handily by double digits.
On day two, Hutchison came prepared for a battle. This contest was very back and forth with Hutch holding a lead going into the fourth quarter. The Bucs struggled with turnovers and had trouble finishing around the rim. Eventually Valdez locked in defensively and converted on many of those shots that weren’t falling in the first half, and managed to get the win by 6 points.
We have one more week left in the regular season this weekend against the Monroe Rams and the following week will be regionals here in Valdez! Go Bucs!
