The Boys and Girls Gold Teams both won yesterday in great games beating teams that they lost to earlier in the year. 

 

The Girls Gold Team won 20-6 in a team effort as they were missing a few players due to injury.  This improves the girls record to 5-3

 

The Boys Gold Team won the game of the year 39-38! They were down by 10 points in the third quarter and rallied back and made a foul shot with 6 seconds left to win by a point!  It was a fun game to watch and all of the boys were so excited after the win!  This improves the boys record to 8-2!
