The Junction City Blue Jay boys basketball team was unveiled to the public during the Blue – White scrimmage Tuesday evening.

Head Coach Nate Schmitt felt the squad accomplished what they needed to. “I think for the most part. After the scrimmage he said, “There were a few other things we wanted to practice, but Dodge City has a couple of people here watching so we were kind of conservative on what we did. I really like our effort.

Schmitt noted point guard Lonnie Autry shot the ball well, the bigs were physical in rebounding, DeAndre Eaves and Elijah Gardner were aggressive, and Aaron Hamilton played well.

There are a couple of injury notes. Senior Xavier Cason has a knee issue and is being held until he recovers. Schmitt estimated Cason could be out a couple more weeks and Kenson Henderson was wearing a cast on a wrist and hand following an injury during the football season.

The Blue Jays open the season by hosting Dodge City this Friday night.
