The Kee boys basketball team had its season brought to a close by one of the top teams in this season’s Class 1A field, as the Hawks traveled to top-10 rated Jesup Thursday evening, February 18 and were dealt an 81-37 defeat. The host J-Hawks converted an average of more than half their shots in the contest, while Kee was only half that effective in being limited to just seven points in two of the game’s quarters.
The loss ends the Hawks’ season with a 7-16 overall record that included a 5-10 mark in Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) play that placed the Hawks eighth in the final UIC standings. Jesup advanced on to a Tuesday, February 23 district semifinals match-up against Edgewood-Colesburg at home.
