Northwestern, Western send A and B boys' teams into conflict

The 6th grade boys of Northwestern and Western faced off in a pair of basketball bouts on Jan. 23. The A and B teams took the court at Northwestern in a traditional rivalry.



These games, designed to hone the fundamental skills of the players as they fulfill their dreams of suiting up for their school, provided a glimpse into the future of both schools’ basketball programs. And the fans weren’t disappointed by the performance on the court.




The Tigers and Panthers fought hard for supremacy, and Goad Sports Media was on-hand to capture these images for the Kokomo Lantern.
