On Tuesday, December 15th, the Shamrocks boys’ basketball team played their first Four Rivers Conference (FRC) game at home. Not only did this game mark the first FRC game, it was also the last home game for the boys in 2015.
The night started with an intense double overtime game for the Junior Varsity. On the night, freshman Martin Lewis had 17 points, and junior Mark Senecal had 10. Although the Shamrocks had some big scorers, the Indians came out on top, overall winning 49-47.
Going into the varsity match, the Shamrocks knew it was going to be tough. Senior Jared Horstmann stated, “In order to win, we needed to play a perfect game. But just working hard was our main focus. I was excited to get out on the court and play. It's kind of bittersweet playing this team one last time.”
