The United boys basketball team is coming off of 3 wins this past week. The Red Storm began the week with a 67-59 Lincoln Trail Conference regular season victory over Princeville. United then kicked off their Lincoln Trail Conference tournament with a 50-39 victory over Wethersfield. The Red Storm also defeated Princeville 52-39 as part of their 2 games in the pool play portion of the tournament. Head coach Doug Dennison is proud of the heart his team has demonstrated on the defensive end and hopes to continue that going forward.
United will take on Abingdon-Avon on Tuesday in the semi-finals of the tournament. The Red Storm are looking to be able to handle the physical play of the Tornadoes squad and pull out the victory. The winner of the match up will take on the winner of Knoxville and Mercer County in the championship game on Saturday at 6:30 at Galva High School. The losers of tonight’s semifinal losers will play for 3rd place at 5:00 on Saturday.
