The last time the Republic boys basketball team started this hot, they rode the momentum all the way to Columbia in March. Republic has won the first seven games of the season for the first time since 2013-14. It started with a win over Helias, followed up by a championship in the Republic Invitational. After beating Clever the following week, Republic followed that up with wins over Hillcrest and Bolivar this week to improve to 7-0. They’ll try to keep the streak going when they open play against Fair Grove in the Blue & Gold Tournament on December 28.
