Level 7 Boys
Gold
The Level 7 boys Gold team opened its season on Saturday, December 11, at St. Mary's in Menomonee Falls. Although losing 48-21, the team showed great hustle and determination throughout the entire game. Eli Wintheiser led the offense, scoring 11 points. There were moments of promise toward the end of the first half, and again in the 3rd quarter, but the Blue Knights couldn't pull through. Ethan Potthast, Nicholas Roth, and Keagan Michelich all tallied points during the game.

Blue
The Level 7 Blue boys basketball team played a terrific first game of its season vs. St Joseph/St Agnes. The boys played hard and never gave up throughout the game. Although losing 24-14, the Blue team played terrific defense, learned, and improved over the course of the game.
Jaron Arvold did a great job playing the point guard position, leading the team in assists and steals. Reehan Muqeet contributed several rebounds, steals, and solid defensive pressure. Ritik Gogineli was among team leaders in scoring and filled the stats sheet with rebounds, steals, and blocks. Sawyer Holubowicz contributed several rebounds and steals, while applying solid defensive pressure. Joseph Elfelt helped out with good ball-handling and helping teammates when they were double teamed. Eli Gierach scored a basket, added an assist, and played point guard very well. Sutton Demski was the team leader in rebounds, points, and blocks.
After a good first game, we look forward to playing hard, having fun, and improving.
-Coach Tom Demski
Level 8 Boys
Blue
After a win last week against CELA, the Level 8 Blue team opened up its league play on the road against Christ King. In one of the weirdest games I've ever been a part of, the team did not score in the first quarter, trailing 15-0. After being down by as many as 22 points in the second quarter, the team started to turn things around and cut the lead to nine points after three quarters. The full court press caused problems for Christ King, and the pick and roll game by Tyler Grande and Talal Sana helped spark the offense.
The team had a chance to win the game, but ultimately lost by four points, 36-32. Despite being down 22, the boys fought hard and never gave up hope of winning. Daniel Cha and Mason Dorn did a great job rebounding, while Beau Libbey caused many turnovers from Christ King players.
The team plays Saturday, December 18, away vs St. Mary Menomonee Falls.
