    The 7AA basketball team improved their record to 6-0 last night with a win over Fischer. The final score for the game was 36-8. Jefferson got off to another fast start as they led 17-2 after the first quarter. Great game last night 7AA!

    Your 7th grade Patriot single A basketball team defeated the Fischer Falcons last night by a score of 20 to 15. It was a gritty and energetic outing by the Patriots as we played full court press for the entire second half, which slowed down and frustrated the Fischer offense. It was a pretty well-rounded effort on offense for the Patriots as 6 of the 8 players scored. It was a much-needed win for the Patriots who travel to Lincoln tomorrow to start the back half of the regular season. Great Job Patriots! Ring your Victory Bell!!

    Last night the 8th grade single A boys played against the Fischer Falcons. The Patriots were still in a turkey coma and did not play to their usual high standard of play. The Falcons were able to knock down a couple buckets in the third quarter that allowed them to pull away and hand the Patriots a 22-11 loss. We recognized some details we have to work on today in practice to be ready to take on the Lincoln Lancers tomorrow.
