There were up and down results for all the Fort Dale Academy Basketball squads last week as the boys’ and girls’ team took on Ezekiel Academy.

The JV Boys team looked to be facing defeat after they trailed the Knights 34-15 after three quarters; however, they mounted an incredible comeback in the fourth, – outscoring EA 25-2 and securing a 40-36 victory to open their season. Sawyer Fossett lead the scoring attack with 13 points.
