On December 4th, JIB's junior varsity and varsity basketball teams faced off against Honaker's jv and varsity basketball teams in a scrimmage. The Burton jv team was successful but,as hard as the varsity Raiders played, they were unsuccessful in winning. Even though the varsity team did not win, it will not affect the actual season because the game is just a scrimmage.
In the jv basketball game, Corey Ball started off as point guard. Tyree Bolling and Derick Allen were put at wing. Austin Lane and Mikey Culbertson were put in as posts. Mikey lead the team by scoring many points. He also had multiple steals to contribute to his scoring lead.
In the varsity game, Austin Johnson played point guard. Brady and Tra Adams started as wings. Nic Collins and Nelson Tate were placed in as posts. The scoring was balanced overall, with Austin Johnson leading the way using the help of the other players.
This game was not official. The coaches did not record the scores in a score book nor did they keep track of the other details. The first official game starts on the 15th of December, which is on Tuesday. Both jv and varsity play on Tuesday. The official times for each game are unknown at the moment, but this article will be updated when the information is available.
