After winning against Buffalo and Westwood, the boys’ basketball team will compete against the Teague Lions here starting at 6:15 P.M.

The team has won against 3 schools so far. Against Buffalo, the varsity team won 68-55 with senior Dakerione Cunnigham scoring 3 three-pointers. 

“A lot of us have played together since we were really young,” junior Caleb George said. “I feel like that chemistry helps us work well together.”
