JCC/Bexley Team Wins State Tourney

Shouts of joy could be heard nearly all the way to Bexley, when the JCC/Bexley Boys 5th grade basketball team won the Division II Ohio Team State Championship Tournament recently. "The tournament is broken down into teams from their High School Division. There were more than 30 Division II teams from around the state competing in the State Tournament Championship, which was held Feb. 27 through March 1. The JCC/Bexley team played teams from Olentangy, New Albany, Whetstone, and Maysville to take first place," said Jeanna Brownlee, JCC Sports and Wellness Director. "We certainly are very, very proud of them!" Members of the team for the tournament are pictured here. Left to right, kneeling in front, are Dylan Soga and Luke Dawley.
