The Varsity Boys Basketball team is concluding their regular season on a high note, with a winning record of 18-4. The boys earned their first TVC Conference title, as they went undefeated (8-0) in the TVC conference play. This is the first conference title that the boys varsity head coach, Coach Kessler, has earned while coaching at Nouvel.

The Panthers most recently defeated Millington and Ithaca last week, which were their last two games of the regular season. Between the two games, the leading scorers were juniors Donny Yeager, MJ Yeager, and Tristen Elizalde, and senior Max Hammis. The 68-58 win over Ithaca on Friday night secured the team’s TVC Conference title, as it was their last conference game of the season. The boys are now focusing on preparing for the playoffs, which begin next week. Wish the Panthers luck and come out and support them at their first District playoff game at Hemlock on Wednesday (3/8) at 5:30 as they play the winner of Hemlock and SASA.
