Facing the Little Snake River Valley (LSRV) Rattlers on their homecourt on February 15, the Saratoga Panthers played a game which Head Coach Jason Williams said was a privilege to coach.

The game, having already gone into overtime due to a buzzer-beater three-pointer, was approaching a second overtime. With the Rattlers ahead by just 2 points, Newt Williams scored a reverse layup to tie the game.

The Encampment boys and girls varsity basketball teams clinched postseason appearances after sweeping Saratoga in the Panther Den last Thursday.

Saratoga Middle-High school hosted nine other teams last weekend for
the Carbon County Invite. Coach Rusty Arnold commented that, ‘the boys wrestled well (and) had some tough losses and some exceptional wins.’ Six of the eight SMHS grapplers had podium finishes, with Ace Arnold and Kanean Roberts both taking second place
in their respective weight classes.

I’m not often known for giving a hot take or making controversial comments when it comes to sports.
