🏀Basketball Games
Our McMeen basketball teams had their second game last night. We received multiple compliments from spectators about how much both teams improved from Game 1 to Game 2! Team White put together a 4 quarter all around effort and got their first win of the season against a good Southmoor team. Andrew Vashaw was the player of the game! Team Blue showed a lot of improvement on both sides! It was another game that came down to the final minutes, but they came up just short vs. Cory. Amos Wright was the player of the game! You can see the full schedule of games here.
