Hey Hoops Fans: What a night of basketball? Did you see #17 ranked Illinois beat #2 ranked Texas in overtime? That was a big win for the Fighting Illini! Speaking of overtime, our 8th grade B's hosted the school of Our Lady Crusaders. Our Maple Leafs battled tough and played an overtime game of their own. Our guys stayed cool and calm knocking down many free throws in overtime to come away with the victory. On the road, our 7 A's were playing the Jordan Jaguars. It was a close game throughout. Heading into the 4th quarter it was tied and with less than a minute left we were down by 2 but we couldn't pull it off and the Jaguars got the last roar hanging on for a 40-34 win. Our A's travel to Wilson tomorrow and on Saturday our 7's have their shootout at the GFAC. Good luck guys.
Attention Choir students, please bring a coat to choir. We are heading over to the high school concert hall today.
