This past Thursday, the Crossroads Academy Boys and Girls basketball teams finished their seasons by playing their homecoming games against Washington Middle.

The boys won their game by a score of 53-46, and the girls lost a close one by a score of 34-30. Both games were very competitive and physical.

As the players of both teams ran onto the court to warm up, fans and spectators began to share their opinions and predictions on the outcome of the game.

Although it was a two week holiday break, all good coaches know their teams must play some basketball over the holidays to stay in shape. Both Munroe and West Gadsden participated in the Holiday Classic at Rickards before Christmas and faced much larger schools. Munroe played only one game while West Gadsden played two.

Munroe dropped their one game to Chiles 54-19. Kadejah Glynn scored seven points in the loss. West Gadsden lost to Lincoln 37-18. Danielle Parks also scored seven points for the Panthers.

It was not a stellar week in county girls’ basketball last week. Only one team came away with a single win, while all other contests reported were losses.
