  • Despite strong start, CHS girls...

    Despite one of their best first-half performances of the season, Chiefland’s girls basketball varsity team succumbed to Bell last Friday night, 50-33.

    But Chiefland didn’t have an answer against Bell’s Olivia Bailey, who totaled 27 points for the game.

    Chiefland’s offense was clicking early, with an early jumper from Janessa Barrios, 3-pointer from Charlene Davis and layup from Amie Biehl to give the Indians a 7-6 lead.

     The air was cool, and the last rays of sunshine were beginning to fade as a group of 27 people in canoes and kayaks slid into the spring’s run.

    Some seemed at home in the sleek fiberglass and aluminum crafts, while others fought to steer and maintain balance, colliding and clustering with each other.

    Chiefland High School graduate Jarret Johnson recorded two solo tackles for the game, including a decisive hit to Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell in the fourth quarter.

  • Hamiltons keep it close while...

    Bronson girls basketball varsity coach Greg Hamilton started this prep hoops season with a rather large task: rebuild the Lady Eagles.

    It’s a process. He knows that it will take time to get the program back on top.

    And it’s a job too big for just one person. He also needed a junior varsity coach that could help train his players for the varsity level.

    So he turned to someone he knew he could trust. Someone he knew could teach the essential skills needed for the upper levels of the game.

    It was an easy choice. He chose his son, Josh.

    Chiefland’s girls basketball team picked up its first win of the season last Friday, defeating struggling Bronson 48-32.
