The final home/district games for Italy’s boys will be against Dallas Gateway today and will be played here in Italy. The games will start with the JV at 5:00 p.m. followed by the varsity contest at 6:15 p.m.

The Gladiators come off a 65-15 win over Arlington Summitt and a 19-point performance by Cole Hopkins. Marvin Cox scored 8-points while cousins Reid Jacinto and Caden Jacinto put in 7-points each to lead Italy’s scorers.

The games against Gateway were originally scheduled to played in Dallas but they have been moved to Italy.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Go Gladiators!
