Winter Storm Oliver rolled in to the area Tuesday night last week, leading to two more days of closures for many businesses and schools. Accurate amounts were hard to measure because of the gusty winds that accompanied the storm, but unofficial estimates are 10-12 inches.

“Regions was a roller coaster like it usually is every year,” said Storm Head Coach Seth Webster. Two Burke/Gregory wrestlers placed first at regions, another finished in 3rd, and one ended the day in 4th.

The Gregory Gorillas defeated the Colome Cowboys on Monday by a score of 60 to 32 in an SCC conference basketball game. The Gorillas got to work early as they held a 17-9 lead after one quarter, and a 30-18 lead at the half.

The Lady Gorillas shut down Colome at home on Monday, February 13, chalking up a lopsided 53-16 victory. Cassidy Keiser was the star of the show with her 17 points.

The Gregory Gorillas won their first of three games on Monday, February 6, 2023, at Kimball, where they defeated the WildKats 45 to 39. The Gorillas took the early lead and never looked back even though the WildKats clawed their way back into the game late in the fourth quarter.

The Gregory girls basketball team traveled to Scotland Friday, February 10, for a double header. Scotland had a slim lead at the end of both the first and second quarters, 12-16 and 24-26. The Lady Gorillas came back after half-time, however, with a new strategy, and ended the third quarter with a commanding 44-35 lead and all but shut out the Highlanders in the fourth quarter to win 50-38.
