Many high school basketball team use one or more days between Christmas and New Year’s Day to scrimmage other teams. Coach Chris Nelson took his Greene County boys to Denison on Thursday to scrimmage Denison-Schleswig. The coach said the Rams were missing 6′ 6″ junior Jesse Miller who attended the Cheez-It Bowl in Florida to watch his brother Tyler start at left tackle for Iowa State. So, he tried different combinations vs. the Monarchs, who have a 6′ 8″ player.

“I thought we took good shots in Denison, although not many of them went in. It was a good chance to face a quality team (D-S is 7-1) and we got to look at several of our kids in a scrimmage situation,” said the coach.

The Rams scrimmage at the high school gym in Jefferson today vs. Exira/Elk Horn-Kimballton and Manson-Northwest Webster.
