The Junior High Arrow Basketball team captures the top spot at the Gary Ford Invitational hosted by Hackett. Both Junior High Girls and Boys took to the court tonight. The girls lost today to Trinity. However, these girls are getting stronger with each outing.
The boys also matched up against Trinity in the top side of the bracket for the overall championship. After a slow start offensively the Arrows put the hammer down in the 2nd quarter and never looked back. Trinity struggled against Lavaca’s press, which created turnover points for the Arrows. When the smoke settled and all was left on the court, the Arrows had won the Gary Ford Invitational Champions.
Lavaca should be very proud of this team. They have not given up more than 6 first quarter points thus far this season. They play a fast, in your face style of basketball. They are fun to watch. The next opportunity to see this team in action will Monday night in Lavaca, when both Junior High teams and both High school teams will face off against Dover. Games start at 4:00. Let’s pack the stands and support these very good, very exciting teams. Hope to see you all there!
