Ben Roeder led the Lions with 21 points in his final regular-season game, while fellow senior Jase Pavlik added 15. Junior Lucas Marichal chipped in 14.
“It’s awesome having this group of people here to support us,” Roeder said. “I love this community and I’m grateful for my senior buddies. We’re looking to let Christ’s light shine through us to our teammates and to the other schools we play.”
The Lions now await the conclusion of other games to learn their assignment for Class 2A sub-state. The Lions went home Thursday night hopeful to host a game next week.
Though their record stands at just 9-10, Cair Paravel coach Chip Kueffer said he thinks more may be in store for this team.
“We knew we would have to overachieve if we were going to make a run, which we can,” Kueffer said. “We can play with anybody. I believe it, and they believe it, too. So, I think we can be really dangerous and I think we’re getting better at the right time of year.”
“We’re grateful for the opportunity and I think we can make a run,” Roeder added.
