The 8th grade boys MIT basketball team wrapped up their WBDA careers at the MIT Tournament in Lincoln on March 15-16. Wayne competed in a five-team bracket along with Falls City Sacred Heart, Gering, Lincoln Monarchs and the Lincoln Predators.
Wayne opened play on Saturday with a tough loss to Gering, but rebounded with a 47-43 win over the Lincoln Monarchs.
On Sunday, Wayne defeated the Lincoln Predators 54-50 and then went to close tournament play against Falls City Sacred Heart. That game was an exciting back-and-forth contest that saw the Irish pull away with a 40-39 win in overtime. Wayne finished 2-2 and after tie-breakers, took runner-up honors in a highly competitive and balanced division.
Congratulations on a great season and careers 8th grade boys!
