On Friday night, both the boys Varsity and JV teams played Wasilla Middle. The Varsity boys won by a score of 44-30. Leading the way was Hunter Matthews and Anthony Kelly. The guys played really well, especially on the defensive end. The JV boys, although they played very hard, came up a little short to Wasilla’s JV team. Jacob Ambacher and Grayson Ade played well.
On Saturday, the Varsity boys suffered their first loss of the season to Teeland Middle. Although they held a lead going into the 4th quarter, playing on short rest caught up with them as Teeland pulled out the victory. The JV boys played really well and defeated Houston Middle’s Varsity team earlier in the day.
We are really proud of our guys for how we competed this weekend. The trip was a tough one for us logistically, as we had to play on short rest and did not have a deep bench. However, we competed and the guys represented the middle school and Valdez well.
