On Monday, Jan. 16, the JV boys’ basketball team headed to Lynnville-Sully to battle it out with the Hawks in a tight, well-played match. The final score for the match was 39-33, with Montezuma the victor.
“I thought our guys battled through some adversity and showed poise down the stretch,” said Coach John Bushong.
Siraj Thomasen led the Braves with 11 points, along with Bryant Sutfin with nine and Dillon Wilhelm and Bryan Gregson with eight points each.
The first period ended with 14 points for the Braves and 17 for Lynnville-Sully. Neither team scored during the second period.
The Braves caught up in the third period with 26 points, tying with the rival team, and pulled in for the win in the final period with 13 additional points to Sully’s seven points.
Coach Bushong said, “We need to continue to work on our rebounding and blocking out a guy in our area. It has been fun being part of a group who is very unselfish. Our guys have found a lot of ways to win, and I think their unselfish attitude has been the reason for that. I look forward to seeing our guys continue to get better.”
The boys will go up against the Hawks again at home on Thursday, Jan. 26.
