Tuesday night was a double header at Thomas Johnson Middle School. It was a face off between the Frederick Warriors and their rivals the Front Royal Flames. The Middle School Boys team tipped off first.
The Warriors boy’s team has continued to improve as they’ve progressed through their first season. The boys are now 11-0 with their most current win against the Front Royal Flames (another homeschooling team). The game started slowly, with the Warriors trailing 8-6 after the first quarter. After the first quarter, the boys found their groove and by halftime, they were winning 17-12. The boys continued to play strong in the third (leading 29-20) and fourth quarters to capture the win. The final score was 35-24.
Everyone contributed to the victory with a big key being the aggressive defense applied to the Flames leading scorer – Caleb Abel, Josiah Carstens, and John Koffman were instrumental in keeping him in check. Leading scorers for the Warriors were Chris Lamont with 16 points and John Koffman with 10 points.
Rounding out the scoring was Josiah Carstens (6 points), Jacob Hughes (2 points), and Christopher Leao (1 point). The Warriors face Crossroads Christian Academy for a rematch on February 19. The boys will have their work cut out for them if they want another win!
For the Varsity girls, this was not only a chance to capture a win, it was also Senior Night. Mary Barrows is the only graduating senior on the Warriors squad this year. It was a great night set aside to honoring her. In a very fitting turn of events, Mary started and scored the game's first basket!
She kicked things off in Warrior style and midway through the first quarter the Warriors took control of the game with a swarming aggressive man to man defense. Throughout the game, the Warriors played great team defense helping each other out. They managed to hold Front Royal to a mere 14 points after three quarters. The Warriors turned pickpocket as Liz had six steals and Charity had 2. In the rebounding department, Rebecca had 14 rebounds with Charity pulling down 7. Krista and Sarah each grabbed 4.
The Warriors dominated the paint with 13 total block shots for the game (Mary-1, Charity-2, Sarah-4, Rebecca-6). The Warriors played strong throughout the entire match and finished the night with the final score 42-24.
