— In a nailbiter that wasn’t decided until the final seconds, the Gentry High School varsity girls overcame the challenge of visiting Rogers Heritage on Nov. 26, winning 49-45.

The Lady Pioneers were up 28-23 at half time and held the lead throughout most of the game, but that lead narrowed and the Lady War Eagles tied it up with less than a minute till the final buzzer. But Gentry retook the lead when Mallory Morris went to the free-throw line, and Haley Borgeteien sealed the victory with another two-pointer to give Gentry the victory.

Leading scorers for Gentry were Sofi ya Stasiv with 13 points and Haley Borgeteien-James with 12. Gentry was also 7 of 18 at the free-throw line.
