Amazing return! A key player Jayce Johnston suffered an ankle injury at the beginning of the season. However, the injury did not stop him, and he has been playing consistently.

The eighth grade maroon basketball team will have a chance of redemption against the rival Hollidaysburg team on Friday, Feb. 10.

The game is an away game and will be taking place at Hollidaysburg. The game tips off at 3:30 p.m. The last time they faced off was a tough game, and in the end, Hollidaysburg won.

This time, the team is hoping to come back smarter and stronger.

Essential player Jayce Johnston said, “We have been learning new plays and practicing harder to get ready for the game.”

The team’s outlook also has an influence on how the team performs.

“We look forward to trying to win this time,” said Johnston.
