The JV boys’ basketball team closed our its season with a 61-47 win over Forney on Tuesday, February 16. It was the Hawks’ only game of the season without leading scorer and rebounder Jeremiah Gaines, but the team responded well with each player taking up some of the slack.

Nick Giron and Luke Eubanks led the way with 13 points each, and Jesse Swindoll had his best game of the season, putting in 12 points. Ellis Sherman also added 9. For a young team experience-wise, these Hawks rounded out their season in good form. They finished 15-11 overall and 6-5 in district, winning their last 3.

Please join me in congratulating OUR Varsity HAWK Basketball Team on an outstanding season. Coach Foster, Coach Bowen, Coach Boyd, and OUR student athletes did an outstanding job all season and in particular in the regional semi-finals.
