On February 6, the Nevada 8th grade boys basketball team played against Roland-Story.

In the first game, the Cubs won, 48-30. Caeden da Silva was the high scorer with 11 points.

“A pivotal moment was the second quarter run that stretched the game to a double digit lead,” said Coach Brook Thompson. “During that run, we played excellent help-side defense which lead to transition layups on the other end. The rest of the game, the boys did a nice job of picking each other up while expecting maximum focus from one another. It was a balanced, team effort.”

In the second game, the Cubs fell short at 28-35.Tate Mair was the high scorer for the Cubs with six points.  Tate Mair, Will Kerns, and Brandon Sampson were the offensive standouts of the game.

“Untimely defensive miscues proved to be costly in the second game,” said Coach Thompson.

The third game was not a full game, but the Cubs played well.  Adam Pratt, Caelan Sullivan-Pecha, and Nolan Brown stood out the most with impressive ball handling.
