The Kimball sixth-grade girls played in the Bridgeport Lion's Club tournament and missed the championship by one game. A total of eight teams competed in the tournament from the Panhandle and eastern Wyoming, including two from Kimball. These teams played 22 games between the two teams and this most recent tournament is the last competition for this set of coaches with these teams, as the young athletes move on to junior high sports next year. "It was kind of a bittersweet weekend for us," Jeremy said. "We had a great time coaching them."
