Fayetteville boy's hoops beats Burton by double digits

FAYETTEVILLE — The Fayetteville High School boy’s basketball team defeated Burton High School Dec. 30, 2025, at Lions Gym by a final score of 72-57.

After a double-digit lead at halftime and a comeback in the third quarter from Burton, Fayetteville really had their shot going for the rest of the game and kept their defense intact in order to pick up a solid win.

“I think the guys know what goes into it,” said Fayetteville head boy’s basketball Jake Diggs on their success. “They know the work they have to put in and what it’s gonna take to reach where we wanna get, so living in the gym, working hard, it’s all them putting in the work.”
