The Sophomore Boys Team continued their District run getting to 10 wins with no losses on the season and an overall record of 16-1 with a hot-shooting game versus Cy Ridge and a physical win versus Memorial. They continue to win with aggressive defense and an offense that seems to adapt to the weaknesses presented by the opponent.
