MS BOYS BASKETBALL VS AVON

After snow delayed the start of the middle school boys basketball season, practice got under way on Monday, January 9. After one practice, the 8th grade team travelled to Avon for a game against the Pirates. The lack of practice was evident as points were hard to come by in the first quarter, but the Raiders were able to build a 6-0 lead. The team started playing more together in the 2nd and 3rd quarters as they expanded their lead to 11 at half and then to 25 by the end of the third. As the final buzzer sounded, the Raiders pulled out a 35-14 victory for their first win of the season. Leading the way in scoring for Wagner was Dominic Doom with 18, Carlos Galindo 6, AJ Kotab with 3, and Leon Fields, Javian Pesicka, Trasin Dilts and Benny Greger all added 2. Both the 7th and 8th grade teams travel to Centerville for their next game action.
