Montezuma’s boys’ basketball team takes on Grand View Christian Wednesday night (3/10) in the State Class 1A Tournament semifinals.  It’s the third straight year the Braves have reached this round at State.  In each of the last two years, Montezuma lost in the semifinals.  Braves Coach Derrick Dengler wants the third time to be the charm for his team to reach the championship game.

“We’re thankful for the opportunity.  We’ve been really fortunate the last couple years to get there.  This is such a great field in Class 1A, there’s so many good teams, I think, this year.  We’re just really appreciative to have the opportunity to have another practice and another game.”

Montezuma comes in with a 23-2 record, while Grand View Christian is 20-1.  You can hear Montezuma Boys State Tournament Basketball on KBOE-FM and KBOEradio.com.  Pregame coverage starts at 7:45 with the tipoff scheduled for 8:00.
