The Delhi boys basketball team got its second league win last night against Denair.

Following the Tuesday win over Waterford, the boys were looking to make some improvements and continue to work toward winning their way to the playoffs. Their hard work in practice this week paid off as they won their home opener 43-36.

The team got off to a bit of a slow start in the first quarter of the game as Denair came out strong and outscored the Delhi Hawks. After taking a time-out and meeting with Coach Rob Pecot, the boys came back onto the court looking ready to play their best. The Hawks quickly came from behind and tied the Coyotes at 11. The Hawks’ strong performance on the court continued and they played hard.

At halftime, the Delhi cheerleaders and the color guard performed for the crowd.
