Cobras

  After dropping a nail-biter on the road against Horton last Friday, the Jackson Heights girls basketball team flipped the script when it returned home to face St. Marys in a non-league contest on Monday night. While the teams were neck-and-neck the whole way, the Cobras even trailed in the fourth...
Jackson Heights' Zane Richter (shown above, second from right) comes down with a rebound early in Tuesday's NEKL contest against Valley Falls. Richter had another big night for the Cobras, but the team also showed some balance as numerous players hit key shots to give JHHS just enough separation in a 46-37 victory over the Dragons.
  Jackson Heights’ boys basketball team found itself in an odd position on Tuesday night against Valley Falls in its first game back from break. Used to being the aggressor and harassing teams with their defensive intensity, the Dragons gave the Cobras fits instead on the defensive end and JHHS...

Jackson Heights' Westin Jacobsen (shown above, at right) slashes to the basket for an easy two points in last Friday's NEKL contest against Maur Hill.

  If you needed any evidence that basketball is a game of runs, Friday’s contest between the Jackson Heights and Maur Hill boys did a great job of proving it. After the Cobras came out hot and took an early lead, the Ravens answered immediately before Jackson Heights’ defense took its toll and...

Cobra Lane Holliday (shown above, middle) corrals a rebound between teammates Braden Dohl (left) and Brady Holliday (right) at a recent practice. All three of those players, among several others, are fighting for playing time early on this season as part of a very competitive team, according to coach Chris Brown.
  For a team featuring a lot of first-year starters last season, the Jackson Heights boys basketball team sure didn’t look like an inexperienced and tentative bunch in 2014-2015. Given that the Cobras (21-3) went on to claim a share of the Northeast Kansas League title and make it to the Class 2A...
