February 8, 2013 vs Danville - SEISC Shoot-Out

Friday the Lions traveled to Mid-Prairie to face the Bears from Danville in the Conference shoot-out.  Lone Tree jumped out 5-2 early but it was all Bears from then on.  Danville held the Lions to just 5 points in the 1st quarter and scored 15, and it did not get any better fror Lone Tree as they fell behind 35-12 at the half.  The Lions picked it up in the second half but the deficit was too much as the number one Bears win 64-41, ending the Lions win streak at 21.

We turned the ball over too many times early, I thought there half-court defense was superb, it was something I as a coach was not prepared for and had not seen in a long time.  We really got impatient when we fell behind and tried to catch up from the 3 point line and did not shoot it well at all.  I give Danville a lot of credit they have an excellent basketball team.  We need to develop tunnel vision now and refocus on the District Tournaments.

Scoring for the Lions-Bryan Forbes 13, Logan Forbes 12, Riley Stump 9, Trenton Gosnell and Gabe Lorack with 3 each, and Lucas Sieverding with 1. Rebounding-Bryan 7, Logan and Lucas with 4 each
