The Braves lost a tough game at Peru.
Coach Burrus Quote: “What a game! What a crowd! i was so proud to be the coach of the Braves. We came into Peru and fought to the end. AJ Kelly had a big night with 20 points. Bauer Maple came up with another huge game with 36 points. We were down about losing but the kids gave everything they had. The Maconaquah community engulfed Tig-Arena. From our players and coaches I wanted to thank our fans for really getting behind our kids. Our young players are growing into varsity players. It was fun and exciting to play in front of such an energized crowd. After getting down double digits twice we came storming back. Our kids had no quit. I thought we had em. Tough loss but the players and coaches will learn from it.

The Braves played a home Saturday game against Eastern. The Braves played well and got a big win against the 8-3 Comets. It was a good win to end up the weekend.
Coach Burrus Quote: “The Eastern game showed what this Brave team is capable of. Every player on the roster got in the game. I really liked our defense. We put together four good quarters. We got a lot of pressure on them. We had 14 steals which led to some easy baskets. We only had 7 turnovers for the game. I really liked how we played offense and defense throughout the game. AJ Kelly has really picked up his scoring. He was 7-7 and had 15 points. Josiah Ball had 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 steals. Bauer Maple had 31 points, 6 assists, and 5 steals. Bauer continues to lead the State of Indiana in scoring at over 28 points per game. This is according to Max Preps. Also, our team is averaging 75 points per game. We are leading the State in points per game. I thought that is a big accomplishment for the players, and coaches. We also really enjoyed the Purdue Pep Band playing, cheering, and just bringing a ton of extra energy to our gym. That was a great experience. I am glad they were on our side!
We have a big game at Western, Friday. Western has won seven in a row. They are one of those teams that like to play slow. This will be a clash of two styles. I hope we can get a good crowd down there to support these guys. Western just beat Taylor who was 12-0. It will be a big challenge to beat Western.”
