From Bob Bowser:
On Tuesday, December 14th, Yellow Jackets basketball hosted Jasper in non-conference action. In the C-game, the Yellow Jackets fell in defeat by the final score of 48-2. Scoring for the Yellow Jackets was Jaxon Morris. The C-team is now 4-3 on the season.
In the B-game, Jasper won 38-8. Scoring for the Yellow Jackets were: Ryland Houchin with 5 points, Tim Harness with 2 points, and Jaxon Morris with 1 point. The B-team is now 1-8 on the season.
In the A-game, the Yellow Jackets potentially played their best game of the season. Still room for improvement on both ends of the court, but we are getting better. Jasper led 9-0 before the Yellow Jackets woke up and stormed back in the first quarter to only trail 13-11. The Yellow Jackets outscored Jasper in the second quarter, but still trailed by one at halftime, 24-23. The third quarter was another good one for the Yellow Jackets, as we actually led 37-36 with seven minutes to play. A few turnovers and a few missed shots in the fourth quarter made it rough on the Yellow Jackets, as we fell in defeat 45-40. The players gave themselves chances to win the game, but just came up short on this night. But, they are improving. Scoring for the Yellow Jackets were: Elliott Acree with 20 points, Brady Porter with 10 points, Brendan Bowser with 5 points, Kasen Dulgar with 4 points, and Cameron Kolb with 1 point. The A-team is now 5-6 on the season and 3-4 in the WEAA Conference.
Next up: Thursday, December 16th at home against New Hope for the final WEAA Conference game of the season. C-game begins at 5:15 pm.
