After regrouping they played a terrific second half and came back to win by 4.  They finish 18-4. The 8th grade had a tall task in front of them as they took on a huge Pontiac team. Even though they took one on the chin, they played with Great Effort, tremendous energy and fought hard and we couldn’t be more proud of them.  They finish at 11-11. Both teams will now enter Regional play.
