Squaws, Chiefs on
coutdown to playoffs

The Friona Squaws and Chieftains host the Childress Bobcats Friday February 5 in an important contest that has playoff implications. Both the girls and boys beat Dimmitt Tuesday at Friona gym to remain in the playoff race.
The Squaws are tied with Tulia at 4-4 with two district games left. Floydada is 7-1 and Dimmitt is 5-3. The Squaws face Childress (2-6) Friday and Muleshoe (2-6) Tuesday to end district play.
The Chieftains are at 3-3 in district trailing Muleshoe (5-1), Floydada (5-1) and Childress (4-2). Still to play are Childress, Muleshoe, Floydada, and Tulia. Remaining games are played at Friona gym except for Muleshoe Tuesday there.
