Last night's Royal Valley game

The Royal Valley girl panthers won last night's game 60-51, with Tara Mitchell getting 16 points. There was no box score in the Topeka Capital Journal, so I can't put a link to it here. You will just have to take my word on it!

(I heard about the score through the Potawatomi grapevine. eh! This blog doesn't deal in rumors, but I trust my source, whose name I will not reveal!)

The big game is tonight!

Tara Mitchell of Royal Valley High School is one of the top scorers in the state of Kansas with an average of 15.8 points per game and is third in the state in rebounding with a 11.7 average. Tara is also a candidate for King and Queen of courts after tonight's game. From this distant we are pulling for her team to win the game and for Tara to get the queen of courts...go panthers...go Royal Valley!

A Grandfather's Account

"Royal Valley won the Flint Hills Shootout in Emporia over the weekend.  It was blizzard-like conditions going there and coming back but we went anyway. 

RVHS beat Osage City 41-36 with Osage City hitting a bunch of shots at the end to make it close, too close for comfort for some of us fans.  Tara had 19 points, 6 rebounds 1 block and 1 steal.  She had a semi-great game and stepped up when it was needed.  On one play she had a behind the back pass to Lan Danielson who scored.  That was the first time I saw a girl do that.  Her game was on.  She drove to the basket on taller girls and made them like it.  Those Osage City girls were some rough players.   

Tara made all-tournament along with Mona Nozhackum from Royal Valley. Tara's game is getting stronger as the season goes on and she deserves every honor she will get this year. 

Other scorers in the game:

Brown 12; Barger 4; Danielson 3; Jessepe 2 and Nozhackum 1."
