LINGLE – An early 6-6 tie was as close as the Tigers would get at Dogger Gym Friday night in the only basketball action last week. For the sixth time this season, an opponent made the Tigers pay from deep with six or more treys. The home team hit two in the first quarter to take the 14-11 lead. Jayden Matthews and Tanner Carpenter buried long range shots to help the Tigers stay close at the half, down 27-25.
The Doggers got hot with help from sloppy ball handling by the Tigers. L-FL opened up a 43-34 third period lead behind four more triples and was able to hold off the Tiger rally. Matthews buried a three pointer, and Penfield’s old fashioned three point play got NCHS within six with 3:06 to play. Bruegger’s late triple was not enough as time ran out on the Tigers in the 58-52 defeat.
