Rockets boys basketball loss vs. Ada
By Matt M. Stutz
The Pandora-Gilboa High School boy’s basketball team hosted Ada on February 7 for a Blanchard Valley Conference battle. P-G fell behind early and never recovered, losing by a final of 50-21.
The Bulldogs (13-7) jumped out to an early 14-2 lead after one quarter of play. P-G woke up in quarter number two and was able to gain some momentum, outscoring Ada 11-10 and closing the gap to 24-13 heading into halftime.
Coming out of intermission, the Rocket’s Lane Lee hit a reverse layup, cutting the deficit to single digits. Unfortunately, that would be the only points the Rockets would score the entire quarter; as the deficit ballooned to 39-15 entering the final stanza. The Rockets were only able to muster up eight total second half points.
Three Rocket men found the bottom of the net in the contest as Lee led the Rockets with 12 points. Cam Verhoff added 6 second quarter points and Grady Kempf hit a late three pointer for his 3 points.
Ada also won the JV game comfortably.
