to meet Condon in the finals
were dashed in their first contest
of the 1A tournament in Baker

but Jordan Valley was the lucky
one. With the score tied at 37,
the whistle was blown for an
open court foul by Camie
Bumght. The Cardinals forced
the Jordan Valley Mustangs'
Jennifer Bruce to the line for the
bonus.
Bruce hit both free
throws which decided the game
in favor of Jordan Valley, 39, to
lone, 37.
