EASTERN IDAHO — Grace Lutheran High School hosted the North Gem Cowboys in a boys-girls basketball doubleheader Saturday, with both games ending in Royals victories.

On the girls’ side, Grace Lutheran (2-2, 1-2) battled its way to a 38-32 win after a slow offensive start for North Gem (2-1, 1-1).

The Royals led 12-5 after one quarter of play, but saw that lead trimmed to four, at 20-16, heading into the half. The home team came out of the halftime break suffering from the same sluggish fit that hurt North Gem in the first period, as the Cowboys pulled to within one possession, heading into the fourth down 25-23.

Grace Lutheran’s offense reengaged in the fourth, pulling away with a 13-point period for the win.
