Saturday night, the Fox basketball teams celebrated homecoming prior to their final regular season games against Alex. The homecoming court for this year for the Foxes were Seniors Dillon Langley and Justin Cornelius along with Junior William Lovely. The girls candidates were Seniors Catie Spigner, Anissa McConnell and Patten Shepherd. The winners of the 2011-2012 homecoming were Dillon Langley and Catie Spigner. Oh yeah, and then, there were basketball games to be played!
In the opening game, the Lady Foxes (10-12) were flat for most of the game scoring in single digits every quarter and unfortunately, dropping their contest to the Lady Longhorns, 40-24. In defeat the Lady Foxes were lead in scoring by Keyanndra Young with 17 points. Coach Spigner said, "With all of the distractions of homecoming, we didn't play up to the standard we are used to playing. We will be focused on basketball for districts."
In between games, the Lady Foxes and Foxes celebrated Senior Night. In all there were 11 Senior basketball players and cheerleaders that celebrated their final home basketball game.
Then, the Fox Foxes (15-7) took on the Alex Longhorns in the nightcap. The Foxes started a little slow leading only 23-15 at the half, but pulled away in the second to cruise to a 56-33 victory. In the victory, the Foxes were lead in scoring by Chris Spigner with 17 and Justin Cornelius with 12 points. Coach Yeiser said, "It's good to be on a roll going into districts. You want to be playing your best ball this time of year and I think we are getting to that point. We aren't there yet, but we are on the right track."
Districts are up next for the Lady Foxes and Fox Foxes. They both play "win or go home" games this coming Friday at Turner starting at 6:30PM. The Fox Lady Foxes play the Velma-Alma Lady Comets and the Fox Foxes will play the Turner Falcons. Make the trip to Turner to watch your Fox hoopsters in the 2011-2012 playoffs.
