Boys JV Basketball Wins 7th Straight, Varsity Postponed

The Louisville Leopards Boys JV Basketball team downed the visiting Alliance Aviators 58-40 Friday evening at LHS. With their seventh straight win, the Leopards JV squad improves to 16-2 overall and 11-2 in NBC play.

Jarrett Heater led Louisville with a game-high 19 points. Jared Holland also scored 10 of his 12 points in the opening quarter and Zach Fresenko also hit 3 three-pointers to finish with 9.

The Aviators were led by Timiko Payton who scored 7. Anthony Thomas also scored 6 and both Kameron Nicholson and Anthony Young added 5 points a piece.

VARSITY POSTPONED: The Varsity game was postponed at the end of the first quarter with the Leopards leading 29-15. An Aviator player collapsed in the huddle leading to the gym being evacuated. Both coaches agreed to play the game at a later date from the point it left off. Please keep your thoughts and prayers with that young man.
