Jackson-Milton hosts a holiday tournament every year sponsored by Spitzer Chevrolet of Lordstown. The boys love participating in this tournament. This year it included teams from Brookfield, Columbiana and Mogadore.

Junior AJ Bouch says, “We came into the Christmas tournament 3-7 with high hopes. We won the first game to Brookfield which put us up next with Columbiana and we took a loss there but we didn’t let that put us down because there was still a while left in the season.”

The holiday tournament started on December 27th and ended December 30th. Both JV and Varsity participated in the tournament. The JV played Brookfield first as well. With Logan Sokol and Nathan Sahli adding multiple points each, the JV lead the way with a 53-50 win. They stayed upbeat throughout the whole tournament and won many games going back and forth between scores, very good games to watch.

Coach Steve Procopio of the Blue Jays sais, “We always come out ready to play, We are very thankful to have such a good tournament around the holidays, it helps us out and prepares us for the second half of the season.”

To end the tournament Logan Sokol, AJ Bouch and Nathan Sahli were all selected for the All-tournament team.
