Courtesy of Boys Varsity Basketball Coach – This weekend the Bucs played their final games of the regular season at home against the Monroe Rams.
Friday’s contest was back and forth the whole way. Our Bucs did a great job limiting Monroe to one shot per possession and overall, the defense was being played at a high level. The Rams were in foul trouble for much of the game and Valdez did well converting those free throws to help us maintain the lead. Valdez ended up winning 66-62. Jarrett and Tino led the way scoring with 22 and 24 points.
Saturday night was senior night. Between games we were able to celebrate our basketball seniors: Romen, Tino, Jarrett and Josh. This was another close battle for Valdez however unlike Friday’s matchup, the Bucs had themselves fighting from behind. We managed to stay within striking distance for the whole game but ultimately came up short and lost 44-50.
Next weekend Valdez is hosting the Aurora Conference Regional Tournament where we will play for a chance to participate in the ASAA State Tournament.
