The boys’ middle school basketball team defeated Viera Charter 44-41 in the West Shore gym Thursday night.

“It felt great to get a win,” eighth-grader Bennett K said. “Usually, we lose, so this felt good to win.”

Although the 2-7 team’s season is coming to an end, some players have maintained a positive outlook on this season and their individual play.

“I think my overall game improved a little bit,”  eighth-grader Chase B said. “Our team also came together at the end of the season.”

The boys will take on Edgewood at home in their final game of the season Tuesday at 5 p.m.
