High school basketball makes up the local Friday schedule, and for Mountain Home, it’s Sweetheart Royalty Night. The Bombers and Lady Bombers continue conference play by welcoming Alma to the Twin Lakes Area.
Mountain Home’s girls are tied for fifth place in the 5A-West with the Lady Airedales. The Lady Bombers are 11-10 on the season and 2-3 in the league after losing at Greenwood a week ago. Alma is 6-11 and 2-3 following their easy win over Greenbrier last Friday.
The Mountain Home boys are 11-10 overall and 2-3 in conference action. The Bombers are coming off a 12-point win at Greenwood. Alma is 4-15 and 1-4. The Airedales suffered a six-point loss to Greenbrier last Friday.
The Sweetheart Royalty court will be presented between the varsity games, and the king and queen will be crowned. In addition, the “Pitch In for Kids” will occur at the first timeout of the boys’ game. Fans will toss out new pairs of kid’s pajamas and socks, and the items will benefit the Foster kids supported by the Call of Baxter County.
The junior varsity boys’ game tips off at 5 at Bomber Gymnasium. The varsity contests begin around 6 and will be on Classic Hits 101.7 and streaming live at ktlo.com and the Bomber Sports Network on YouTube.
