In a grand season closer, JV boys basketball doubled the Vista Ridge Rangers 55-28 on Tuesday, Jan. 11.
By starting with a close first quarter as both teams went back and forth, making layups and two-point shots to stay in the game. Their rebounds helped aid the Warriors’ offense, however through the quarter, the Rangers were breaking through the Warriors’ defense. The Rangers ended up taking the lead as the first quarter ended with the Warriors down 13-11.
”It felt nice to help get my team further on the lead,” Jaxon Covin ‘27 said.
Rolling into the second quarter, The Warriors evened out the score to 13-13 as the Rangers used their continued speed to strengthen their offense, which overall, didn’t prove to be effective as the Warriors stole the lead at the end of the first half.
“I think the first half was pretty good. I think we didn’t do too well defensively in the first quarter but in the second quarter we stepped it up,” Liam Beekman ‘27 said. “That allowed us to do better in the second half.”
The Warriors entered the third quarter far up at 30-16 after the Warriors shut down the Rangers at the end of the last half. Their individual talent shone through in the second half of the game as Covin went on a stealing streak, not allowing the Rangers to reach the key as well as give his offense the opportunity at the basket. The Rangers’ defense was not as effective as in the first quarter, but they still faced the Warriors more determined than ever.
“We dominated with good teamwork in the second half,” Dylan Joyner ‘28 said.
By the time the fourth quarter came around, the gap had greatly expanded, as the Warriors racked up 26 points on the Rangers through the duration of the game. The Rangers could feel the pressure and started playing more aggressively. However, the Warriors used their unfaltering determination to deliver a crushing 55-28 win to end the season.
“I think [the game] was pretty fun, and it was our last game, so we all felt really good, we all wanted to do good,” Beekman said. “We all got playing time and scored a bit.”
The JV boys had a successful season, ending it with a 23-4 record. They look to the offseason where they hopefully will earn their place on the varsity team next year.
