Afterwards, Coach Shoemaker said, "Both teams finished off the regular season with wins. I thought both teams did a good job of jumping off to early leads and continued with the pressure the whole game. Now we have to prepare to play in the conference tournament after a week of no games. It will be a challenge to stay sharp but hopefully we are ready to accept that challenge."
The junior high boys basketball conference tournament will be held in Delta the week of December 7th. A bracket will posted when available.
