The annual Donkey basketball game was played this past Saturday, Feb. 1.
Most people see coaches stomp around and yell a lot. Having played sports when I was younger it is pretty obvious what’s going on.
The Cubs played hard and kept it close. Head coach or the Cubs Coach Pennington had this to say” It was a great game where both teams played. We had 21 turnovers and that is too many against a good team. We had some chances to extend the lead but you cannot go over 6 minutes without scoring. Credit to them for winning the game” Pictured is #22 Morgan Wilk going up for 2 against a Panther defender Photo by Will Sadler
