The Batesville Freshman fell to the Jennings County Monday night 40-37.
Alex Roell led the Bulldogs with 13 followed by Zach Britton with 10. Peyton Meyer (7), Gunner Olsen (5), and John Harmeyer (2) also scored in the loss.
“Alex Roell had a breakout game for us tonight. He battled inside all night, and finished through contact. Our guys did a good job of feeding him in the post, and he did a good job of finding scorers as the defense collapsed on him. If we continue to get post production like that, we’re far from seeing this group’s ceiling.” Batesville Coach Ben Siefert.
After a 19 point first quarter, the Bulldogs were only able to muster up 18 points over the last 3 quarters. That stalemate proved to be the difference.
“We were just unable to overcome some things not going our way in the second half. We got into foul trouble, and couldn’t find our way to the line on offense. I don’t think we stopped playing hard though, so there’s a silver lining there.” Batesville Coach Ben Siefert.
With the loss, Batesville falls to 3-3. The Bulldogs host South Dearborn Tuesday night at 6:00pm.
