Week #19 - 6th Grade Boys Win First TFS Basketball Game of 2026!

Dave Levy, Athletic Director
6th Grade Boys Basketball - The Badgers are back in the Den, and the 6th Grade Boys took advantage of their opportunity for more playing time. Eli was smooth right off the opening tip, faking a pass to a teammate and driving down the middle. He used this move throughout the game, resulting in two trips to the line, a three pointer, and 11 total points! Will got to the line as well, and was constantly in attack mode! He made both foul shots. The Badgers led 8-7 after the first quarter, and Kai got the scoring going. He used a quick first step, got the defender on his hip, and beat him to the basket. Kai had 6 in the first period, and finished with 12. He worked closely with Gabriel, who had several assists, using an effective give and go.
The Badgers had 10 in the second, really extending their advantage. Isaiah was in the middle of it all - strong as could be - coming away with 13 rebounds on the day! He was strong - boxing out his competition - and then sending outlet passes to Bo to get the offense rolling the other way. In the second half, Isaiah had seven of his nine points, giving him a near double/double - 9 and 13 is a heck of a line!
 
Hatcher was strong defensively, part of a zone defense that held James River to only five points in the second half. He played the elbow, opposite Robert, and was always in a strong defensive position! The Badgers came away with a quality win to open 2026. They're back in action - as a full MS team - on Tuesday, 1/13 at 5:00 vs CCS at Tandem.
 
Cheers to the leadership from our 7th Graders - they helped run warmups and provided guidance on the bench! Go Badgers!
