JV boys on losing streak

The past two weeks have not been kind to Davie’s JV boys basketball team. Reagan outlasted the War Eagles 51-45 on Jan. 30, marking their third loss in four games.

It was close throughout, but the Raiders managed to beat Davie narrowly for the second time this season. The Davie scorers: CJ Coleman 17, Jake Runge 11, Cam Knox 7, Jayden Warren 4, Ben Reid 3, Aiden Horton 2, George Sakai 1.

Three days later, Davie hosted Mt. Tabor. The first meeting was a 39-point rout by the Spartans, but the War Eagles hung around longer in the eventual 64-46 decision. They led after the first quarter before trailing by 10 at halftime. Tabor pulled out to a 48-32 lead at the end of the third.

Davie (9-7, 3-6 CPC) dropped its third in a row despite 18 points from Coleman. The other scorers: Brady Vallance 9, Reid 8, Runge 5, Horton 4, Brice Wilson 2.
