MOUNTAIN VIEW — The Buffalo Dome was full with some areas of standing-room only last week on Friday as the MVHS Buffalos hosted the LHS Eagles in a shoot-out on the hardwood.

All four varsity teams, primed and ready, took their turn on the hardwood after preliminary games played by the JV teams. And, the varsity teams split the wins with the MVHS Buffs out-shooting the LHS Eagles and the Lady Eagle out-shooting the Lady Buffs.

And true to fashion, multitudes of fans were on hand to root for their respective teams, turning the Dome into

All season, both Valley lady teams have been at the top of the SW Quad with the Lady Buffs in first and the Lady Eagles in second. In fact, the Lady Buffs have been in the #4 slot of the 3A conference.

Following last Friday’s game in Mountain View where the Lady Eagles took the game by 11, the SW Quad on Monday had the Lady Eagles in the #1 notch and the Lady Buffs in at #2. However, this game didn’t bounce the Lady Buffs from #4 in the 3A.

Although the Lady Eagles won by 11, the score didn’t reflect the true aspect of the game. Both teams were hot and ready when they stepped on the hardwood. The Lady Buffs put in a basket and had a three-point lead when Lady Eagle Mandy Eyre followed up a Lyman basket with a two-point lay up giving the Lady Eagles a one-point lead. The Lady Buffs maintained a slight lead in the first quarter and both teams were firing.

When it came down to crunch-time, the Lady Buffs fouled the Lady Eagles as soon as the ball was brought on the floor. The Lady Eagles capitalized on the times they went to the bonus line, doubling the points put on the board by the Lady Buffs in the fourth, stretching the Lady Eagles lead to 11 as the clock wound down, to win the game with a score of 53-42.
