Maconaquah High School Boys Varsity Basketball beat Western High School 66-41

The Braves went on the road and beat Western. The Panthers had won 7 straight games. The Braves improve to 8-5.

Coach Burrus Quote: The win at Western was a major accomplishment for our team. They were a big challenge and had posted some big wins. I really liked the play of MJ Ellis, and Trace Armstrong. They combined for 16 points. They chased Bauer Maple, hard but he still scored 27. We also had 19 steals for the game. I liked our pressure. The kids made Western play fast. They are really good at playing slow and getting what they want. Our team dictated the pace of the game. We forced them to take 3’s or we got a turnover. Dean, the 6’8 kid got some dunks but we held everyone else down. I also liked how we played with the lead in the 4th. We spread the floor and got easy baskets.

It also was also a special game for me with win number 300. Thanks to everyone who made last night so special. We are at home tonight against Frankton at 6 pm.
