Kimball JV Boys have winning season

The Kimball Junior Varsity Boys Basketball Team closed out their season with a 50-47 win over Mitchell Friday night and with the win ended up with a winning season of 10 wins and 4 losses.

The JV boys entertained the crowd, like they have been doing all season, with some spirited play and good team work.

After three quarters of play, Kimball led 39-25, but Mitchell came roaring back in the fourth quarter to outscore Kimball 22-11 and kept the fans on the edge of their seats to the final buzzer.

Some outstanding play by Freshman, Javon Coyle, with key rebounds and a slick assist pass to Brayden Tyan, who made a slick move of his own for a reverse layup with less than :20 seconds showing on the clock, helped preserve the win.
