Hard work pays off for JV Braves

by Bryan Stanford
The Montezuma JV Braves finished their season strong with a 54-41 victory against the BGM Bears Feb. 11. 
“Our game against BGM was a great way to end the year, seeing our guys being unselfish and have fun with each other,” Coach Dale DeJong commented.
Offensively, the JV squad jumped out to an aggressive start, finishing the first quarter with a 19-10 lead. 
The leading scorers for the Braves were Zach Gibson with 16 points and Dillon Wilhelm with 13. Kane Barker also contributed 10 points for the JV squad.
Defensively, the Braves were able to hold the Bears to 18 points in the first half and 23 in the second, diminishing any thoughts of a Bear comeback.
The JV Braves finished their season 9-4. Coach DeJong commented, "They worked extremely hard in practice and earned every win. Gibson, Tyler Swenson, Coleton Tompkins and Niall Lyons were great leaders for us.”
