The 3A Rawlins Outlaws came to play the 1A Encampment Tigers (6-1), (2-0) last Tuesday night in a game that proved the Tigers could hang with anyone. Rawlins is a much bigger school than Encampment but that didn’t phase the Tigers.
“It’s always the same,” head coach Dan Kraft said before the game. “We’ve got to play defense and rebound. It’s our strength and we’ve got to keep doing it every game.”

The Encampment Ladies basketball team couldn’t bag a win on the road last Tuesday and Friday night against the Rock River Longhorns and the North Park Wildcats.
Despite good play from the Tiger team, Encampment trailed the Longhorns for the entire match, finding themselves down 29-37 at the final buzzer.
“We had the third quarter jinx going again as we scored 4 to their 14,” said head coach Amy Clay.

With senior wrestlers at home taking ACTs, it was up to younger Saratoga grapplers to make a statement Dec. 8 at the Soroco Invitational, in Oak Creek, Colo.
Five Saratoga wrestlers placed in four different weight classes at the tournaments’ conclusion.
In the 106-weight class, Bradley Bifano and Daynon Mowry placed first and third respectively.

The Lady Panthers caught fire in the fourth quarter and almost put away a game they trailed all afternoon Saturday. They ended up five points short of a win against the North Park Wildcats as the clock ran out on their rally.
“The girls all played very hard but we definitely didn’t play up to our abilities,” head coach Matt Love said.

The Encampment Tigers men’s basketball team came off of last week with two wins and will roll into the upcoming scheduled games with a 5-0 record. The Tigers beat Rock River and North Park, both games on the road.
“We got two good wins under our belt,” coach Dan Kraft said. “We try to get better all the time.”
