Three wins and a two-point loss...not a bad start for the Phoenix girls' basketball team!

The Prates are 3-1 on the young season, including a 1-1 mark in Skyline Conference play. Phoenix dropped a tough 50-48 decision at Mazama on May 25 before bouncing back to down Klamath Union 41-29 two days later.

Against KU, Phoenix led the entire game but was unable to put away the visiting Pelicans, thanks in part to a tough night at the free throw line where the Pirates were 17-for-36. Josie Bolstad finished with a game-high 16 ponits and 13 reboudns for PHS, which got 10 points and four steals from Morgan James and seven points from Kassandra Skaff.

Two nights earlier, the Pirates had a chance to tie the game late but were unable to execute in the final seconds at Mazama. Bolstad and Skaff scored 13 points each whlie James added 10.

Phoenix scored an impressive 52-42 non-league win at Douglas on May 21. Fatima Flores scored a career-high 18 points off the Pirate bench. The senior added six rebounds and pair of steals, helping Phoenix overcome a second-half deficit. Delani Parent and Skaff both added 11 points in the win.
