From Coach Bob Bowser: On Monday, March 15th, Yellow Jackets Basketball hosted St. Joe for the SIJHSAA Class S Region 15 Regional Championship game. The Yellow Jackets came out on fire and held the lead after one quarter of play, 20-2. With all players getting on the floor in the second quarter, the Yellow Jackets extended the lead to 34-5 at halftime. Things slowed down in the second half, but the Yellow Jackets kept their intensity on defense and led after three quarters 42-7. In the fourth quarter, the Yellow Jackets were able to bring it home and keep the trophy for the second year in Yellow Jackets Country with the final score of 52-12. Scoring for the Yellow Jackets was: Reed Stinson with 16 points, Elliott Acree with 13 points, Kollin Kelsey with 10 points, Brendan Bowser with 4 points, Kasen Dulgar with 2 points, Brady Porter with 2 points, Alex McGinnis with 2 points, Mark Vaupel with 2 points, and Chase Gher with 1 point. Every Yellow Jacket player dressed for the game scored!! The Yellow Jackets finish the season 6-4 overall and Back-to-Back Regional Champs. In fact, this is the second year of the boys basketball co-op and each year has finished as Regional Champions. Congratulations to all of the boys, as they had to fight through this season playing with a mask on, missing two weeks of the season for snowmageddon, and not having much time to practice before or during the season. They played 10 games in this year of the pandemic, which is 10 more than we thought we would get. Great season, great memories, GO YELLOW JACKETS!!
