Varsity vs Whitko High School (75 - 50) Win Coach Burrus Quotes: "The Whitko game was a big game for us. It was the end of the break and a game we needed to continue to compete in the season-long TRC race. I liked our holding Whitko to 50 points. We have worked hard on our defense. Kaden Miller has came back from college to help us this year on our coaching staff. He has done a good job working with players on the different parts of playing good, team defense. Josiah Ball had a big night with 37 points. I liked his 14-16 from the free throw line. AJ Kelly had 17 points and 4 steals. I really liked AJ's play on defense. He can guard any player on the other team. Landon Adams had 4 steals and really guarded well against Whitko. Devon Murry scored 8 points and really has developed some nice moves to the basket. He had 5 big rebounds. Fuddy Kile had 9 rebounds and is really improving on defense. He also had 4 assists and 2 blocks. Caiden Richards came off the bench to give us a big lift. He had 4 points and 3 steals. We have now won 18 straight games at home. The last time we lost at home was during the 2022-23 season. It is a neat streak that connects three different seasons. It is also a credit to our fans to have a streak that long. We are all part of this streak. We have a tough week coming up. Taylor is Wednesday and they are 9-0. We are there and we know this will be a big challenge for us. Tipton is on Friday, at home. They are tough, again. We will have to play very well to win these games. We are entering a tough stretch of the season. We need these tough games to get better. Big challenges ahead."
