Northeast Middle School Boys Basketball Team Undefeated and Heading to the Playoffs!

Last night - at home - the basketball Nighthawks took the measure of Anwatin's very classy hoopsters, and that (as they say) was that.

The scoreboard at the end of regulation play read "46 - 29."  

Our kids stayed in character.

They are 9 - 0 (as in undefeated) in regular season play.

Next stop:  the play-offs....
