Varsity Boys Basketball Team Makes JCS History as Regional Champions

Congratulations to the Varsity Boys Basketball team for being Regional Champions for the first time in JCS Boys Basketball history!  The Eagles secured their win over Champagnat Catholic School with a basket by Gedeon Germinal with 3.1 seconds left in the game.  Toler Reiff was the leading scorer with 13 points, and Gethro and Gedeon Germinal each added 12 points.  It was a team effort from the bench to the coaches to the five on the court. We could not be more proud of our student athletes! A special thank you to our wonderful Eagles' fans for your support.
