At last Thursday's home game, fans and players alike were blown away by Erwin's performance of the Star-Spangled Banner to commence the game against Two Eagle River. "She's amazing," said Coach Courtney Vohs.

Noxon claimed victory over the Eagles 51-33. At the get-go both teams played great defense and were offensively on the ball, the half ended at 21-18, with Noxon in the lead.

In the third quarter Noxon was up by 10 and kept up the fight in the fourth, gaining stamina for the win. "They are gaining that confidence to know when they are open to take a shot. Defensively they are stopping the ball when it needs to be stopped," Vohs said.

Brown led the team with 30 points and Richter racked up nine. Farrah Ushia and Yoder reaped four steals each. Brown made ten rebounds, Richter eight and Swanson six to wrap up the win.
