Jays/Lady Jays Host Successful Scrimmage


The boy's and girl's basketball programs hosted their annual Blue-White Scrimmage Friday evening at Cokely Fieldhouse. A great crowd turned out for a preview of the 2010 teams.
Games began with the Sophomore boys under the direction of Coach Brandon Smith. Junior Varsity Coach Kevin Baker had his players go next. Both teams excuted well offensively, played hard defense, and took care of the basketball.
After the JV game, the boys team out-shot the girls team in the 3 point contest. The winning team of Kyle Rutliff, Jordan Lewis, Denton Koon, and Ben Hansen captured the traveling trophy. They are pictured in the same order above.
Next up was the varsity squad. The Blue team battled back from an early and large deficit to force an 18-18 tie. Coach Simpson summed up his comments. "As a coaching staff, we were pleased with some of the results, however, there's a lot of room for improvement. Some of our intentions were good, but the execution on both ends of the floor needs to get to the next level quickly."
The night ended with over 100 Blue Jay t-shirts being won by fans for making a free-throw.
The Jays would like to thank all the fans who came out to Cokely to watch. Go JAYS!
