WEIMAR — Fayetteville boy’s basketball traveled to Weimar High School Nov. 28 to take on the Wildcats at Wildcats Gym in Weimar and went home with a win by a final score of 70-46. This was a close game all the way until the fourth quarter when the Lions went on a scoring tear due to their feisty defense and fast break offense to secure a big win.
"Weimar came out and played really well,” said Fayetteville head boy’s basketball coach Jake Diggs.
"Especially after just one day of practice from football. We had a lot of open shots in that first half, we just didn't get it to fall. Missed a whole bunch of free throws. I didn’t hate how we were playing in that first half, shots just weren't falling for us. Second half, they came out and hit two big threes in a row and then hit that elbow shot for a 8-0 run. Actually got the lead on us. Then we were able to call timeout, calm down a little bit, go back to what we were doing, and finally forced a few turnovers. Then shots started falling for us." Fayetteville senior guard Keagan Supak logged 22 points for the night and can pretty much do it all on the basketball court. "Just trying to get something started,” Supak said. "We started off a little slow, but then once we start working together, start playing as a team, start getting some things rolling, get some more shots off, open shots, and then try to speed them up and get ahead." Weimar is very much improved this year and looks like a team that can make some noise in the tri-county area. "Fayetteville, they’re a great team,” said Weimar head basketball coach Jakob Rehak. “My biggest thing, we had to try to stop their fast break. They are really good getting the ball out on the court. They were shooting the three ball really well. I thought for the first three quarters, we played a hell of a game. Other than that, it got away from us at the very end, but I'm very proud of how we played tonight.”
