They do it again! 💪🏀 A big congratulations to the 8th Grade Boys Light Team for taking 3rd place at today’s McAllen tournament. After a challenging first game, the team responded in a big way—closing out the final with a clutch buzzer beater to earn the podium finish. The 8th Grade Dark Team battled through the consolation bracket, picking up a first-round win before falling in the final. Strong effort from both squads as they keep building momentum heading into the rest of the season.
