The Glenwood 7th grade boys basketball teams competed at Atlantic last night, winning the A game 66-44 and the B game 27-26.  The A team was paced in scoring by Bennett Grile with 18 points and Max Koehler with 15 points.  The defensive intensity shown by all teams was so much fun to watch and created many offensive opportunities. These kids are fun to watch fly around the gym and play some great unselfish basketball. The B team had a huge game winning 3 point shot by CJ Riley with only seconds remaining. The boys will be back in action tonight at Treynor.  Game starts at 4:00. Come watch these kids play. It is fun!!!!!
