Can you believe December is here already and Christmas will be here before we know it? I can blame the fast passing of time on old age - what’s your excuse?

My brother Doug would have been 71 years old today, Dec. 1st. Doesn’t seem possible he’s been gone for 33 years this coming January 2020.

In the A game, the Jackrabbits fell behind 3-9 in the first quarter. Tribune picked up the scoring in the 2nd period with Jadyn Mangan making 2 field goals and a free throw. Dani Chavez hit two from the line and Jerusalen Valenzuela hit one free throw for a 11-19 score at half time.

Hoxie took control with 20 third quarter points on their way to a 45-14 win.

“We played the best we have all season the first

half,” remarked Tribune coach Jordan Stewart. “Our defense was strong and we were able to break their press and get them to pull it off.

“Unfortunately, we came out in the 3rd quarter slow. They shot very well and we weren’t able to stop them. We need to learn to play a strong 3rd quarter, because in almost every game this season we have got beat in the 3rd quarter. We are improving and making steps to becoming a better team, but we have to continue working hard and wanting to win. We have had a tough schedule so far and are

playing really good teams.”Tribune will play at

Dighton on Thursday, Dec. 5 and at home against Leoti on Monday, Dec. 9.
