Last week the EHS Basketball Program\u2019s season began with two home games. The first was against Sweet Home on Wednesday and the second against Stayton on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sweet Home game resulted in wins for every team, except for the boys varsity. The girls JV2 game was canceled due to a lack of players.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The boys JV2 won 24 to 12 and the boys JV won with 33 points to 29. Although the boys varsity team didn\u2019t win, they put up a tough fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It looked like they had the win in the bag until the last second when Sweet Home stole a winning basket just as the buzzer went off. The game ended with a close score of 31-33. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The score leaders were #33, senior forward Jacob Janeczko with 11 points and #2, senior wing Braiden Hansen with 15 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The JV girls team won their game with 39 points to 16. The varsity girls team garnered a win for EHS with a close match that ended in 28-25. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sweet Home held the lead by 8 points until after halftime when the Falcons came back and took control of the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The score leaders for the night were #2, sophomore point guard Layla Burgess with 9 points and #33, junior guard Iris Frome with 7 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know, when compared to the season we had last year, and the improvement we had over the year, I\u2019m so proud of these girls. It was a great team win,” girls varsity head coach Jeff Green\u00a0said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Stayton games had a much more unfortunate outcome when compared to the success of the Sweet Home games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The boys JV2 lost 28-46 and the boys JV lost 23-56. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The boys varsity game left the team with another loss. The final score was 23-67 in the match up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leaders in scoring were #2, Hansen, with 11 points and #1, junior guard Austyn Woolcott with 4 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The girls JV lost 14-36 and there was not a JV2 game for the girls, as Stayton doesn\u2019t have a JV2 girls team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The girls varsity team lost 28-38, despite a tough fight from the Falcons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leading scorers were Burgess and #10 freshman guard Ava Greene. Both athletes scored 11 points for their team.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily for the Falcons, both games were non-league events. The first league game and next home game for the EHS basketball program will be on Jan. 3 against Sisters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
