Boys Basketball: Boys are playing hard, but fallen on five-game skid

Posted

AMBOY – Every basketball team wants to win every game. However, sometimes squads learn important lessons with tough defeats.

The Amboy boys basketball team is taking some lumps at this point in the season as they up their game before regionals in February.

The Clippers (6-10) have lost five straight games including three in the last week as they fell to Eastland 75-37 on Tuesday, Jan. 7, to Ashton-Franklin Center 53-49 on Thursday, Jan. 9, and Stillman Valley 46-36 Monday, Jan. 13.

Senior Eddie Jones tied Eastland’s Parker Krogman for a game high 17 points on Tuesday. Junior Ezra Parker scored 11, senior Brody Christoffersen and freshman Bryson Deery both had four, and junior Rylan McNinch chipped in one.

Jones had sole ownership of the game high against AFC as he scored 21 points by making seven 2-pt. field goals and shooting 7-of-10 from the free throw line. Parker scored 12, McNinch added 10, and senior Quinn Leffelman hit two 3-pointers for six points.

Parker finished with a team-high 19 points against Stillman Valley, but the opponent’s Payton Woodman took the game high with 20.

Aiding Parker in scoring were Jones (seven), Leffelman (six), Deery and McNinch (two each).

The Amboy baseball team is now 6-10 on the season.
