Grassroots Showcase in Louisville showing great growth and teamwork. Sebastian scored 19 points with 9 rebounds on Sunday and found his way to the basket and free throw line going 3 for 4!
Congratulations Sebastian on receiving 32 Associated Press votes and being named All State Honorable Mention as a junior! We're still here for another year! Let's go LSA Lions!! 🦁
The Hawks drop one at home to a 19-1 Clinton team by a score of 57-74. We fall to 12-8 on the season. Sebastian had 22 points and 8 rebounds. Not a lot of highlights, as Baz had 12 of his points from the free throw line!
Congratulations Sebastian on being named a unanimous selection to Lincoln Prairie All-Conference First Team! We also had 2 🦁 named to second team! Truly was a special year for LSA and an awesome group of boys!
Tough overtime loss 48-52 to start the season vs. Jacksonville Routt. Macon Meridian goes to 0-1. They came out from opening tip in a Box and One defense on Baz and held him to only 8 points. He was all over the floor on both ends otherwise but just ended up not being enough!
The Hawks improve to 11-7 on the year with a nice 66-50 road win at Pana. Sebastian finished with 15 points in what was probably our best overall team effort of the season! We're back in action Friday at St. Teresa.
