The boys basketball team has started off their season strong with a 9-2 record so far, most recently they played Riverside on January 10th. After a hard-fought game, Coach Gustin helped the boys gain another win. This game was important because of the rivalry between the two schools, but also because senior Chris Blauman scored his 1000th point. When I talked to him about the game I asked what he thought led to this win and he said, “It helped that we didn’t give up and we played hard. Justus had a big three in overtime that put us ahead and secured the win which was very important.” I also talked to some people that were at the game and sophomore Lexi Fleischer told me that Chris Blauman gave a really good hype speech in a huddle that got all the guys and the student section pumped up. This was a big conference win for the boys, senior Jacob Land said, “This win shows that our team can come together even when it gets tough and get the win”. Also, senior Ryan Bowers has been cleared after his ACL injury this past summer so he will start playing again in their next games. The top three performers for this game were Chris Blauman, who had 19 points, Justus Albert, who had 11 points and a go-ahead 3 in overtime, and JD Galovic, who had 15 points. The next game is at home against Mayfield on January 17th at 7pm, hope to see everyone there!
