• Week #24 - JV Boys Badgers Win Three Games in Three Days!

  2/10/2026
  RMA. Covenant. Monticello. None of these squads could contain the Tandem JV Boys Basketball team, now 10-1. The Badgers have played at an incredibly high level throughout the season! Playing with pace, the Badgers were at their best when Monticello went to a full court man to man press. As Coach Sam pointed out, Coach George has the press-break on lock! All five players touched the ball - and there was not a single dribble. King threw an inbounds pass to Derion. He kept the ball high and looked toward the middle, where Mason stepped to the ball and pivoted to face the basket. He spotted Levi flying down the right side of the floor, and tossed a chest pass in his direction. Levi took one step towards the basket, and with eyes in the back of his head, he tossed a pass over his shoulder to Levie, who completed the play with a smooth layup!

• Week #24 - Sweep: JV and Varsity Boys Protect Home Court vs New Covenant!

  2/10/2026
  Boys Varsity Basketball - Leaping higher than all the trees, "Playoff Sin" had already scored the first four points of the game tonight. Isaac drew the defense and found Sin open on the baseline to put Tandem ahead by 2, and Sin later knocked in a smooth floater to increase the lead to 4. He finished with 14 points, but his early rebound among New Covenant's front line - which featured two players six inches taller than him - was indicative of the level of effort Sin brought to the court tonight.

   

  It was close early, with New Covenant making two threes and double teaming Sean defensively. Kemaan took advantage - driving coast to coast to give Tandem an 8-7 lead halfway through the first quarter. With the clock winding down, Sean fired a three from the outside - giving Tandem an 18-13 edge after eight minutes.

• Week #23 - Badgers Compete Hard in Tough Double Header

  2/5/2026
  MS Girls Basketball - Always in the right place at the right time, Zoey deflected fourteen different passes during the first quarter. Even the officials commented on how she was always on the floor, hustling for loose balls. She turned that effort into a big scoring night - seven points, a new career high!  

   

  With excellent execution, the Badgers did a fine job getting the ball into the paint. For the second day in a row, the team enjoyed lots of high percentage shot attempts, with our trio of Zuri, Sunrise and Cora getting deep into the paint. Sunrise and Cora each had a bunch of rebounds - and deflections - and proved to be quite the presence! Zuri set the tone defensively - quarterbacking our half court defense with clear communication on the court and in the huddle.

  Boys Varsity Basketball - With his left hand, Isaac knocked the ball away from his defender at half court.  Using a swim move, Isaac beat him to the loose ball, positioning his body to gain possession of the ball. He took a peek at Covenant, now on his back, to assess his angle to the rim. Isaac made a decision - this was not time to lay the ball off the backboard. He extended his stride and planted his foot, rising towards the basket. His defender, right on his hip, did the same - leaping and stretching his arms to their full wing span. Covenant tried to swing those arms to the front of the cylinder, but the ball got there first, as Isaac threw the ball through the arms of his defender and then through the rim with serious force! If you didn't see it tonight, look for that dunk on SportsCenter. Absolutely epic.
