On Friday December 18th, the Olympia Spartans boys basketball team will travel to St. Joe-Ogden to compete in the Leader Classic Tournament; last season the Spartans finished 5th in the Classic.
This year the Spartans(5-4, 3-1) head into the Leader's Classic the winner of 5 of their last 7 contests. The Spartans who are coming off their worst loss of the season and first conference loss to University High are looking to rebound against Cissna Park.
“The game Tuesday night is behind us and we can only look forward as we are continuing to build for February” said Coach Yoder.
The Spartans beat Eureka, Mahomet and Pontiac so far this season in the conference. The team is excited to bring its school home some hardware this season from the leader classic.
Senior Karl Fasse said, “ With a little hard work and dedication we are hoping to play Tuesday night for the championship.”
Olympia is the third overall seed in the tournament behind PBL and the host St Joe-Ogden. The St Joe-Ogden Spartans are currently 4th in class 2a state rankings.
Senior Thomas Hallstein said, “ I am really excited to show everyone what our team is made of and prove of a worthy spot.”
If you’re able to come out to watch this year’s basketball team as they start this year's Leader Classic Tournament. Go Spartans!
