Menominee Nation girls fall 47-41 in tight road loss at Weyauwega-Fremont

Menominee Nation’s girls varsity basketball team dropped a competitive road game at Weyauwega-Fremont on Jan. 8, falling 47-41. The six-point margin reflected a low-scoring, physical contest in which every possession carried weight for both squads.

The box score and updated team statistics were posted online after the game, providing game-level details and player stat totals for fans and coaches to review. Those figures will be important for the coaching staff as they sort through shooting percentages, turnovers and rebounding margins to refine lineups and practice emphasis in the days ahead.

A 41-point outing on the road underscores two immediate takeaways: defense kept Menominee in striking distance, but the offense did not generate enough high-efficiency scoring to overcome the opponent’s output. In close contests like this one, late-game execution and depth often decide outcomes; the stat sheets posted after the game will show which rotation options provided scoring and who logged key minutes.

For Menominee County residents, the result matters beyond wins and losses. High school basketball games remain a social hub that drives weekday and weekend traffic to local diners, gas stations and community events. A tough loss on the road can tighten focus for players, students and supporters, and it can also motivate stronger turnout at upcoming home games as the season progresses.

From a team-development perspective, the next week of practice will be pivotal. Coaches will likely target shot selection, ball security and transition offense to convert competitive defensive efforts into more consistent scoring. Seniors and underclassmen alike will need to translate the lessons from a narrow defeat into sharper execution against conference opponents.

The takeaway? Treat the loss as a diagnostic. Watch the posted box score and team stats to see which areas need the most work, and make time to support the team at the next home game. Our two cents? Keep turning out for the Nation—home gym energy can swing a few close contests and makes a real difference for these players.
