Wednesday Basketball Summary

Fox played four basketball games at home yesterday starting at Noon against Bray-Doyle. The 6th and 7th grade girls started off the day and played their best game of the year, but came up short in the end. The 6th and 7th grade boys took the court next and came away with their first victory of the season.

The Junior High girls played the next contest. After a slow start the Lady Foxes mounted a comeback in the second half but fell short in the 2nd half losing by 9 points. The Junior High boys closed out the day in convincing fashion getting their first win of the season.

The next junior high games will be this Monday at home against the Turner Falcons.

The Lady Foxes are back and ready for action! Starting off the season tonight at Fox at 6:30PM against the rival Healdton Bulldogs. Head Coach Kenney Spigner says,

"I feel that we have the potential to be good, we had a really successful summer, we're pretty anxious to stop playing each other and play another team, my expectations and the girls is Gold ball or bust! I feel that we'll do well tonight, but first games are always different, the players have adrenaline flowing through them, it'll probably be a little sloppy at first but I expect for us to play well."

Go Lady Foxes & Fox Foxes beat the Bulldogs!

Day Games?

Tomorrow, November 30th, there will be 6th-7th and 8th-9th grade games starting at Noon. We asked Mr. Williams, the athletic director, what the reason was for starting the games at noon. He replied, "That would be the only time that both teams would be able to play. Also, it will allow our students to have a chance to watch their classmates play." This will be the only home game scheduled during school hours.

Come out and support your Junior High Foxes and Lady Foxes!!

High School Basketball Boys Preview

By Keaton Argo, Dalton Langley, Dillon Langley

It does not seem possible, but the 2011-2012 basketball season is upon us at Fox. It is not only a new season, but the Fox boys have a new coach. Coach Erik Yeiser will take over as the head coach of the Foxes this season. We asked him a few questions about this season.

"We have a good athletic group of guys that should be able to run an up tempo style of basketball which is what I like, we lack an overall team size we will have to get people in an up tempo style of basketball. The key to our success is how well we shoot the ball."

We also asked Coach Yeiser what his expectations are for the team. "My expectations are their expectations, but I expect a successful season. I know this group of guys will compete hard every night."

We asked how prepared he thinks the team is coming right out of football season? He said, "We are not fully prepared, we haven't been over all of what we are going to do offensively and defensively."

We asked how do you feel about being the new coach? He said, "I enjoy it so far, I got a good group of guys with good personalities, and they work hard, as a coach that's what I like.
