Veritas plays ‘best game’
Olathe ? Elijah Penny scored 16 points and Veritas Christian’s boys basketball team defeated previously-unbeaten Heritage Christian Academy, 48-45, on Tuesday.
“We probably played our best game of the year so far,” Veritas coach Gary Hammer said. “They’re a really good team. But we just played really good ball and made key free throws in the fourth quarter.”
Heritage Christian defeated Veritas in the Eagles’ third game of the year, 49-41.
Veritas (10-2) will face Whitefield Christian Academy on Friday at Eudora Community Center.
