Boys B lost 40-26 against Timberlane. What a season the boys had. Finishing the regular season 8-4 and making to the finals is something to be proud of. The boys played their hearts out and tried their best. A tough loss, but we will bounce back next year.

Girls A lost 40-31 in the 1/4finals to Sanborn. We split the reg season series and handed Sanborn 1 of their 2 losses. After a slow start, we made a run and cut the lead to 2 before they hit a few shots and put the game out of reach.
