exceptional play from Dee
Dixey, who scored 32 points.
Balanced scoring from Fran
Moses, Mercy Barayoga, and
Wanda Jiminez pulled out a 4
point win at the final buzzer,
79-75. The win was decided by
free throws, the Bravettes

Taholah was eliminated 48-40.
Fran Moses compiled 22
points, before fouling out, with

protest was lodged and upheld
in their first game against
Browning, Montana, which led

The Magpies felt the “agony
of defeat” in their first game
against the Lakota Track Club
out of South Dakota. The
game was decided in overtime
after being tied at 90 in
regulation time. The Lakotas,
with four men on the court,
rose to the occasion, scored the
winning bucket, and won 97-
96. The Magpies met more
Lakotas and experienced their
style of “counting coup.”
Sarcee, Alberta, Canada gave
the Magpies their only win of
the national tournament.
The Colville Tribe hosted a
memorable event, far beyond

“Indian Ball” and enhance their
admiration and appreciation
for team sports.
A boxer struggle starts long before he gets into the ring for his bout. The battle begins first with the
