🏀 1A Top 25 - 11/27 🏀

College coaches meet Levi Goad. He's an under recruited point guard with amazing court vision that can get to the rim, knock down the mid-range jumper and plays defense.. Through 12 games he's averaging 15.6 pts, 3 reb, 2.8 ast, 2.4 stl, and shooting 54.5% from the field.

A fast-paced, back-and-forth battle ends with Lexington pulling away and handing Earlville their first loss of the year, the Minutemen securing their spot in the championship tomorrow night at 8:00!

The #2 seed Lexington knocks off previously unbeaten Earlville to advance to the Tournament Championship game.

The seats are full for the Championship Game. Always great to see the fans of both teams fill up the stands, along with the coaches, players, and fans from our other schools come out for the Championship game.
