The boys were led by Luke Rutkowski’s 19 points and Isaiah Hernandez’s 13 points, but it was the overall effort by the entire team that led to the comeback victory. The boys showed great teamwork and effort throughout the season and finished with an overall record of 9-3. Congratulations to the boys for a fantastic season.
