Holden High School is hosting “Pack the Gym” night Thursday in support of the boys and girls basketball teams. The Lady Eagles will play Knob Noster at 5:30 p.m., followed by the boys’ game with Richmond.

T-shirts are available in Ms. Evans' room for $10. If you come out and support the Eagles, you get to socialize with other Holden Eagles fans before the game and get a free corndog.

When asked about tomorrow night’s game and some potential distractions, Lady Eagle Coach Wescott said: “Basketball was a game invented to be played in front of a lot of people. There are no distractions. Tomorrow is a big game being a conference game and we are ready.”

In recent boys action, Holden lost a nail-biter 63-60 to Sherwood, despite 31 points from Matt Borgen and 18 from Coleman Anstine.

In the JV contest, the Eagles won 36-32 in overtime, led by Tyler Schoonover with 10 points. Kalan Littlefield added nine.
