The boys varsity basketball team, ranked seventh in the state, moved to 12-4 on the season with a hard fought 65-51 victory over Globe Tuesday night. Once again sophomore, Albert Wilson III, led the way with 26 points and 15 rebounds. Junior guard, Caden Heyn, starting in place of the injured Ayden Hoyt, contributed 9 points. As a team, the Knights made 17 out of 19 free throws. The victory assures the Knights of no worse than a co-championship of the Metro East Region in Conference 3A.
