The eighth grade boys have been playing together for four years without a championship trophy. In what would be their last game together as a team last wee, they pulled out all the stops and battled the Danbury PAL team for a 66-65 win.

Although Bethel boys never gave up the lead throughout the game, the last two minutes of play proved to be a true fight to the finish. The team was coached by Tom Duffy and Ray Buckley.
