In junior high basketball action, the Falcons and Lady Falcons left Eden with wins Monday night. The girls' game came down to the wire, with Veribest pulling out a 27-25 victory on a Jaden Sturm basket with less than one minute remaining. Eden had two chances to tie the score, but failed on both trips. Point guard Jessie Padilla guided the team with solid play throughout the contest.
Hoping to build their record to a perfect 4-0, the junior high boys played an uninspired first half, but rallied to defeat Eden by a final score of 25-17. The deciding run came at the beginning of the second half, when the Falcons rolled off ten straight points, led by the play of Adolfo Lara. Lara finished the night with 15 points. Also contributing to the Veribest win was Emory Lankford and Zach Book. Book finished the contest with 11 rebounds.
