Destroying the competition, the boys basketball team advanced to the 7A Area 8 championship game Saturday night.

Going nine out of 10 behind the arc, the team was in high shooting mode. Consistent shooting and rebounding contributed to the 78-46 win over Bob Jones.

“We were just on. I was so proud of the team and the way they played the game,” coach Jamie Coggins said. “We have really come together and peaked at the right time of the year.”

The win also secured the team’s trip to the regional competition at Wallace State on Friday, Feb. 19.

“We’ve gotten where we are because we have improved as a team and have played as a team,” Coggins said.

The team will face James Clemens in the area game tomorrow night at 6 p.m.
