The Cody Broncs and Fillies hosted the Worland Warriors on Tuesday, January 12th in what ended up as a nail biter win for the Fillies and a prideful loss for the Broncs.
The Fillies faced an 11 point deficit at halftime which was as much as 12 vs. the Lady Warriors but it wasn’t because of bad shots, just not the best execution.
