Winter sports have been inconvenienced by the week of school cancellations, particularly varsity boys basketball. Players were unable to practice or compete for much of the past week.

After winning 3 out of their 4 games at the Meramec Holiday Tournament, the boys basketball team looks to continue their hot streak after a previously scheduled game against Kirkwood. The game was originally on Jan. 6 but has since been postponed to Feb. 17 due to the recent inclement weather.

Highlights by the Lancers from the three wins at the Holiday Tournament included a 23 point performance by senior Nate Messer against Washington, along with a compiled 29 rebounds by the team as a whole against Vianney.

The Lancers’ next matchup will take place at 7 p.m. against their fellow Suburban West rivals, the Eureka Wildcats. Lafayette’s defense will have to contain current team scoring leaders Mason Bendingo and Conner Walden if they plan on bringing home a win.
