Despite this loss, the boys had an outstanding year of Basketball, this season showcased Junction City’s effort to create a better basketball program.

Ever since head coach Nick Perez was hired the team has made outstanding strides compared to previous years under different coaches and coaching programs. In addition, the new school will provide the team with more of an opportunity to succeed with more equipment and technology available to improve their game.

There have been many highlights to the season.
