Your 7th grade single A basketball team took on the undefeated, #1 seed Gregory Pioneers yesterday in the 2nd round of the Conference Tournament.
The Patriots took them to the brink of a major upset as the game was tied at the end of the first half, tied at halftime, and a 2-point Jefferson lead going into the 4th quarter.
Unfortunately, that’s when Gregory went on an unanswered 11 point scoring run to defeat the scrappy Patriots. It has been a pleasure and honor for coaches Rester & O’Malley to be a part of their season.
Go Patriots!!!The 8AA basketball officially kicked off March Madness with a HUGE win last night over Madison. The Patriots didn't play their best game of the season, but came out with a win. Awesome game last night 8AA! They will play Kennedy at 5:00 tonight at Crone.

Last night the 7th grade double A Patriots opened the playoffs against Granger. After a slow start the Patriots stepped up their defense creating several turnovers. Late in the game the Patriots were down 8 looking to make a run. The Patriots gave it their all but were defeated in the end. The Patriots did not have the best record but they worked hard and became better basketball players. Great job 7th grade double
Your 7th grade single A basketball team took on the higher seeded Grizzlies of Granger in the first round of the tournament.
Your Patriots played their most balanced game of the season to earn a 16 to 12 victory.

While it will no doubt be a very tough game, your Patriots will play their hearts and leave it all out on the court.
