Nothing but Net

Posted: February 7, 2013

UNDEFEATED! The James M. Hill boy’s varsity basketball team capped off their regular season play at home, Tuesday, February 5th with a solid win over their cross-river rivals, the Miramichi Valley High Pulamoo. A strong performance by the five graduating players was certainly a factor as the boys doubled their opponent by a score of 85-41. Before a packed gymnasium during the alumni appreciation evening, Nolan Levy and Nick Leggatt combined their talent, netting 50 of the Tommies 85 points. When asked how he felt about his last home game, Levy confidently stated, “We’ve beat some really tough teams this year and have had a great all around season, only losing two games all year. But this is by no means our last home game. We have a tough game ahead of us in front of the school on Friday.” The boys ranked 1st in the northern conference and 5th in the league as co-captain Levy pointed out the true challenge will come during the post-season where they will come across stiffer Regional competition. They will face-off Friday afternoon against the Riverview Royals with tip-off being at 1 p.m. on home turf.    by Kevin Losier
