The Batesville Boys 9th grade basketball team finished up a tough stretch of 3 road games in 5 days on Monday night. After beating East Central 38-23 Thursday they were on the road Saturday at Plainfield and again Monday at Jennings County. Turnovers plagued the boys at Plainfield losing the game 46-22. Monday night at Jennings County found the dogs playing from behind as they never could quite get in a groove shooting the ball. The dogs were never quite able to catch up to the Panthers losing 21-19.
The team is in action again Saturday as they look to bounce back and defend their turf at home in the Batesville Invitational.
