They lost three in a row, then turned around and won three in a row. 

The boys basketball team seemed to be stuck in a rut of struggling to come out on top, but the hype is back and the team is winning. 

After having a break the week of Jan. 13  since they didn’t make the LIT Tournament, the Chargers are back and have come out on top every game in the past week. They faced Whitefield and Breckinridge County over the course of four days. In between these games, they played county rival Bullitt Central at home and won by seven points with a final score of 52-45.

Jan. 24, the Chargers took the home court and the Redzone decked out in black to face the Bullitt Central Cougars. The game was a close call throughout, and the score at halftime was 22-19. Senior Zak Perdew led up until this point with 10 points. Once the third quarter was over, the Cougars were winning with a score of 37-33. The rival kept their lead up until the final minute of the game. The Chargers went from being down by 2 points, to winning by 7 points. Perdew led the team with a total of 23 points. 

“It was a very back and forth game and I really wasn’t for sure which way it was going to go. I’m just glad out ream kept fighting and got the win,” said Perdew.
