Brendon Walker scores the winning shot during the Kimball junior varsity game against North Platte St. Pats.
The Kimball boy's junior varsity team has won their last five games and are now 6-2 on the season. Their win over North Platte St. Pats ranks as the game of the week for Kimball High.
On Friday night at Sutherland they won out 46-34 with Izaac Reuter high with 13 points followed by Corey Travis with 10, Beau Hanks 6, Kole Bush 3, Zane Anthony 4, Brendan Walker 4 and Brayden Tyan 2.
The JV team pulled out a 52-50 win over visiting St. Pats Saturday night in a game that was exciting from start to finish. Reuter hit a long trey at the buzzer of the third quarter to put Kimball up 39-35, but then the starters were mostly through for the night to save their quarters for the varsity game.
The fourth period was exciting all the way. Brendan Walker hit a trey with 3:27 left to close to 46-44 with the Irish leading. He scored again at the base and Anthony hit a pair of free throws with :43 seconds left to give Kimball at 50-49 lead. Walker, a 6'1" freshman, scored the winning basket on a sweeping hook type shot with 2.4 seconds showing.
Travis was high for Kimball with 13, Walker had nine with a trey, Bush 9, Sam Cajero six with a trey, Reuter 5 with a trey, Colton Mielke five with a trey, Anthony 3 and Jaren Winstrom 2.
Next action for the JV team is Feb. 7, when Pine Bluffs comes to Kimball.
