Sports · February 22, 2018
West Branch Middle School’s eighth-grade boys basketball team won three of four games in the past week against West Liberty and Regina.
“In the A games, we did a really good job with the half court trap,” Coach Rich Stout said. “It helped us take control of both games, including a 21-0 second quarter against Regina. Our rebounding has also improved a lot from early in the year.”
“The B team struggled shooting from the floor against West Liberty, but we bounced back to play well and get the win against Regina,” he added.
