JH Braves three for three


by Elizabeth Ostrem
 Both 7th and 8th grade boys’ basketball teams won their games against Keota on Monday, Jan. 23, and the 8th grade team also went on to pick up another win the next day.
The 7th grade game dominated their match, winning with the impressive score of 50-15. The game took an unusual turn when a rival player fouled out, leaving Keota to finish the game with only four players on the court because they had no substitutes.
Logan Price led the Braves with 11 points, followed by Dakota Strong with 10 and Carson Losure and Dominique Ward with seven each.
The going was harder in the 8th grade match, but by a team effort they came out on top with the final score of 38-35.
Bobby McCulley made 14 points for the Braves, followed by Price with seven and Strong with three.
The 8th grade’s luck continued over to the following night with their victory against Tri-County. The final score for the match was 56-4, Monte’s favor.
The Braves played well offensively the entire game, and almost every player on the team scored at least once. Top scorers for the game included Brody Mckeag with 14 points, Jacob Shaver and Tyler Thompson with 10 each and McCulley and Strong with six points apiece.
“The boys came in with a good deal of confidence, and they played like a team that expected to win,” said Coach Clayton Hjelmeland.
