One of Lone Peak’s fiercest fans likes to sleep through entire games. Her name is Scarlet, she’s the coach’s infant daughter and she was born at the start of the season.

The Lady Big Horns came out a bit cold, but rallied thanks to scoring by Emma Flach, KP Hoffman and Jayleen Cole, who hit four three pointers. Then down the stretch, Cole’s impressive outside shooting couldn’t hold back the Mustangs’ balanced attack.

The Lone Peak Bighorn boys made a huge comeback to defeat the Ennis Mustangs in Ennis on Friday, Jan. 19. Final score LPHS 49 Ennis 44.
