One win away from State. Oskaloosa’s boys’ high school basketball team takes on Fairfield tonight in Mount Pleasant in the Class 3A Substate 5 championship game. The Indians opened the season with a 42-40 win over Fairfield back on November 27th. Oskaloosa Coach Ryan Parker says his team is very different from the one that started the season.
“We really didn’t find ourselves until after Christmas break. We’re a different team since then; I’m a true believer of that. We play a lot harder; we feed the post a lot better; we run our offense through the post. Our size is our strength. We’ll have to be ready on Monday for sure, because they’re not just going to lay down and give us a State tournament run.”
