Again, our next quarter, the third, takes off with a shot from the Valley Vipers. We are only at 9:32 and already the quarter's first time-out has been called. The bighorns are at a loss, 58-66, and we are finally getting a glimpse of the crowd's spirit. They are making some noise!

There is five minutes left, and the score is 67 to 74. Our second time-out is marked by a show from the home team's cheerleaders, the Lady Bighorns.
