The JV boy’s basketball team has had a very successful season so far. They only have two losses that came to Galena and Douglas, both are Division 1 schools.

The team took on rival Elko on Tuesday last week and came out with a win.

“We played well. It was a tough game but we came up with a win. It always feels good to beat Elko,” said Sterling Dennis.

The team was back in action Friday when they played Battle Mountain and won. That win improved their record to 19-2 on the season and 10-0 in league play.

“We have had a very successful season this year. The two losses were close games but since then we have been on a roll,” said Christian Gray.

The Bucks already have the league championship locked up. This team won the league as freshmen as well.

“It’s really nice to be able to play for Lowry. The tradition here is amazing and we always have amazing teams. It’s really nice to be able to be league champions again. I like saying that we went undefeated in league and had a really good season overall,” said Christian Gray.

The Bucks are back in action Tuesday when they go to Spring Creek hoping to continue their dominance this season. In the first match, the Buckaroos beat the Spartans.
