The boys basketball teams traveled to Urbana on Tuesday, January 30. The Pioneers took the first quarter, but Urbana took the second quarter and led by 4 at the halftime.

The second half was close the whole time, with the biggest separation of 7 points. The Pioneers had a small run late in the 4th quarter to go up 41-40 and with 10 seconds left, Urbana held the final shot of the game. Urbana’s final shot came up short, and the Pioneers won the game by one!

The Pioneers had balanced offense, and not one player scored in the double digits. The Jonathan Alder Pioneers next game is at home vs. Bellefontaine on Friday, February 2 at 7:30.
