The SCW junior high boys team concluded their season on Friday with a 46-22 win over Wessington Springs. The junior high boys team finished the season with a 15-2 record only losing to Ethan and Howard. They lost to Howard in the first game of the season by three and avenged that loss in the championship game of the Wessington Springs tournament winning by 14. 

Over the course of the season the junior high boys beat 11 different opponents. During the year, their full court press style of play not only gave opponents problems and was their key to success, but it seemed to delight the larger than usual junior high crowds throughout the season. 

Coach Steele summarized the season by saying, “All year we pressed and trapped and defensively we were about as good as any team I’ve ever coached including the varsity state tournament teams I’ve coached.  This team bought into our defensive scheme and mantra that for 24 minutes nothing would be easy for our opponents.  I think our record shows the boys bought in and executed that mantra.  I’m extremely proud of them and our season.”
