The boy’s team had lots to celebrate including a convincing 74-56 win over the Eagles plus a milestone by Jake Gross when he hit his 2,000th point as a Knight.

Tanner Brush had 20 points. Jake Yeary had 18, Patrick Moore had four and Adam Turley finished the game with a single point. Drew Correll led the Eagles in scoring with 16.

The Knights as a team had a quick start as they had 19 first period points but they did their most damage in the third with 24 points in route to a 74-56 victory.

After the game the team celebrated the victory and the milestone by Gross.

Gross had 478 points as a freshman and followed that season up with 562 points. He finished his junior season with 410 points and exploded during his senior year with 641 points.
