🏀 Hoops, High-Fives, and Heart: Unified Basketball Brings the Energy!

Submitted by Coach/Athletic Director Eric Ramey: In front of a near-packed house, the Slaters hosted a Unified Basketball game for the first time in school history, and used a balanced effort to top Otter Valley 44-28. The Slaters lead 22-12 at the half, and used a big 3rd quarter to pull away. The Otters got hot in the 4th period to close the gap, but the Slaters held on for the victory.

Brett Hazen led Fair Haven with 12 points, and he consistently found open teammates, assisting on numerous hoops for the Slaters. Troy Hazen finished with 8 points, Jordan Alger and Jayden Botts had 6pts, and Nate Moulton and Travis Alger both had 4pts.

The Otters were led by Collin Elliot, Jeremiah Shaw and Alyssa Wade with 6 points each, Levi Machia had 4pts, and Madison Mitchell, Logan Korson and Reece Sheldrick each had 2pts.

Final: Fair Haven 44 / Otter Valley 28

The Slaters are back in action on Thursday, hosting Rutland at 4pm. Admission is free, and we hope to see the gym packed once again.
