The varsity boys basketball team wrapped up their season with a home win over Hendrickson, Tuesday, Feb 17.

“It was really cool to just go out there one last time with the brothers that I’ve been playing with for a while,” senior Will Noble said. “It was a good experience to get that win and have fun doing it.”

The win was a highlight in a tough transition to 6A that left the team with six district wins.

“Our new district is a lot harder than the old one,” senior Jacob Delauri. “It is unfortunate that we have not had the success that we have worked so hard for and deserved.”

A significant milestone for the team was the win over Cedar Ridge Tuesday, Feb. 10 giving coach Shane Krause his fourth straight seasons with 20 wins.

“I’m really happy for the entire team, but more specifically the seniors because they’re great kids who work hard and deserve success,” Krause said. “We’re gonna continue to build on what we have going, and be more successful down the road.”

The Stony Point game Jan. 20 was one of the best games. In the final seconds, senior Jacob Alger rebounded a missed shot to make his first shot and win the game by one point.

“It was a big win, we really needed to win that game because we needed more hope for the playoffs,” Alger said. “It was a good game for all of us.”

Another strong finish was at Round Rock, Feb. 3. Despite a hostile crowd and not agreeing with some of the calls, an intense pep talk by Coach Shane Krause helped the team get a hold of the situation and win by six points.

“I felt satisfied knowing we were able to improve so much,” senior Nathan Puckett. “It was about us and us bringing out the effort to push and strive for the win.”

The season ended Tuesday with seven seniors playing their final high school game.

“It’s really sad, you know. Because I’ve been playing with a lot of these guys since seventh grade and even longer for some of them,” Noble said. “It’s been a long journey and a fun one.”
