The boys secured an 8th seed and a home playdown game last night with a win over BFA Fairfax 50-44. The gym was packed with fans from both schools and the atmosphere was electric for senior night. The boys jumped all over the Bullets getting out to an early 21-6 lead. Senior guard L.F. was a one-man fast break tallying 15 first half points on an array of layups, bankshots and one REALLY deep three. Fairfax stormed back and the boys only led by 4 at half. Both teams started slow in the third and, eventually through traps and PA turnovers and three 3's by senior Bullet J.W., tied the game at 41. Senior forward K.S. hit four straight free-throws to put the Wolves up by 4. Both teams were tight on the defensive end and with every stop, the decibels inside the gym grew to the loudest of the season. The boys did not allow a single field goal in the 4th quarter; All 3 of Fairfax's points came from the free throw line. With the boys up 48-44 with 45 seconds left, L.F. scored on an inbounds play that put the Wolves up 6. That's how it would stay, and as the buzzer sounded, the fans went wild.
The boys will host either Oxbow or Enosburg on Wednesday night at 7pm at Johnson State College. Price for admission will be $5 for adults, $4 for students/senior citizens, and for larger families a family pass will be $20.
The JV game was also a great game. A see-saw battle most of the game was a two point lead for the Bullets with under 15 seconds to play. T.B. had a chance to tie but missed the front end of a one and one, but S.M. got the rebound and with 8 seconds left called time out. The boys got a look going to the hoop, but it it didn't go down and the Bullets escaped with the win.
