Boys Basketball Team Goes to State Tournament
Coach Waddy finished his dream season in the Hancock Central gym February 19. The Eagles boys’ basketball team concluded their year with a loss to Hancock. The boys finished the season 17-9 for a school record total of wins.
This team produced many firsts:
- First 17-win season
- First region tournament win (twice)
- First State Tournament appearance
- First All-Region team selections: Robert Doster and Kallem Brooks
The senior work horses of Robert Doster, Kallem Brooks, Alex “AT” Allen-Tunsil, Alex Acker, Michael Brichant, and Aymerick Kolokilagi led the way to the record season. Scoring records were set and defense was tight all year long.
With a healthy and experienced roster returning next year, the future looks bright.
