Weekly Recap: January 13th-17th

The Boys' Varsity Basketball team squared off against Melba earlier this week. Their 64-55 win improved them to 5-6 overall standing. The boys then played Marsing on Friday.

The boys are now in 5th place in the conference at 2-2. They may be able to move up a few spots this next week with matchups against McCall-Donnelly and Nampa Christian. Currently, they are sitting right in the middle of the conference standings. With eight games left, their playoff positioning could vary, but will likely be anywhere from the 3 seed to 5 seed in the conference.
