The 7b Boys basketball Team won a nail biter last night against Hastings. The boys started off with a commanding lead in the first half but a tough Hastings team came back in the third quarter to make a tight game out of it. Hastings tied the game up with a minute left in the fourth quarter and with some clutch shooting the boys were able to regain the lead with less than a minute left on the clock. The boys were able to get the ball back into play and run out the clock to seal their 26-24 victory. Great work boys!
