Tonight, the gym was alive as word spread fast that the eighth grade boy’s basketball team was playing Thayer Central’s eighth grade boys. Both teams went through their regular season undefeated. Tonight was a battle of the bests and Heartland came out on top handily in a 49-30 victory.
This game was set up by the coaches and parents of both teams. They thought it would be a good idea to have a ‘pick up’ game for the boys since neither team had lost. The season had been over for Thayer Central for a couple weeks now and Heartland had also finished off their regular season. This ‘pick up’ game, then was just for fun and good competition. However, the attendance of this game looked awfully similar to a high school sports competition with the home team bleachers nearly completely full. The game was good, solid basketball to watch from the stands.
The eighth grade boys played extremely well together and have a very promising future as they enter into high school competition next year. It will be fun to watch them play with upper class men and begin the next phase of their sports careers for Heartland. Go Huskies!
