The boys basketball team has finally come together at the end of the season starting with a huge 84-43 win over Cambridge last week. “All the pieces fell together — what you try to teach the kids, and what they try to do as a team,” Coach Duane Dodge said. The Horde took off with [...]
Boys lose three
Despite scoring a game high 18 points in the fourth quarter, the Whitehall boys basketball team was unable to complete a comeback against Warrensburg on Monday night, falling 54-48.
