Both basketball programs from Forestburg and Prairie Valley competed in a tournament in Chico Thursday through Saturday.
Of the six games played Saturday, the final day of action, the four teams compiled a combined record of 2-4 with the Horns and Lady Horns taking the victories.
The Longhorns opened the day’s events against Boyd.
Despite keeping the score close, the Horns struggles at the free throw line was a glaring issue through the first half as the Yellowjackets took a 19-13 lead at the half. The game remained close; however, Boyd would prevail 48-40.
“We just did not play that well on either side of the ball,” said head coach Steve Sandusky. “On defense we looked sluggish and were not as aggressive as we need to be.”
Taten Vann and J.D. Moore paced the team with 12 points in the contest. Vann recorded three rebounds, two assists and two steals; Moore added six rebounds.
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs took the court next, playing the away team to the Boyd.
PV had a rough go at the game as they were unable to break through to double digits until the fourth quarter. Boyd won 49-10. Read more, and see box scores, in the mid-week Bowie News.
