It was a weekend full of basketball action as Bombers Basketball teams canvassed area gyms Saturday and Sunday as the opening weekend of CNR Basketball 2014-15 tipped off.
The effort is to be commended across the board from our Bombers teams, win or lose. As a group, the Bombers enjoyed more wins than losses as teams opened up regular season action in the CNR league, while others finished their final regular season weekend of the Fall Renaud League.
Congratulations to our each of our 6th grade teams on notching their first victories of the regular season this weekend. Our 6th Grade-Rapplean team won 2 of their 3 games in what was a very busy opening weekend.
Our 5th grade boys notched their first victory of the year on Sunday at St. Charles Hardin, finishing 1-1 on opening weekend.
The 4th and 5th grade Lady Bombers enjoyed a successful Sunday as well, both capturing victories in their first games of the 2014-15 season on Sunday.
