Ugly weekend for Brownsburg

After their trouncing by Danville on Friday night, the Brownsburg boys basketball team struggled against Plainfield on Saturday night. Earlier in the year, the Dogs beat Plainfield by 18 points, but this time Tyler Whetstone hit a shot with just a few seconds left to beat the Quakers 54-52. Jacob Eldridge led the Dogs with 16 points while Kurtis Runyon had 11 and Whetstone scored 10. BBurg hit 9 three-pointers in the game. The team hosts HSE on Friday and Manual on Saturday. The game against Manual has been moved to 130p due to the Colts playoff game that night.

Like I said in my previous post, the girls basketball team needed to get to 52 points to have a chance against Lafayette Jeff. They only got 49 as they lost 56-49. It was a physical game, as it usually is between these two teams. There were 47 free throws in the game. Jeff took a 13-11 lead at the end of the first quarter, then came out with a 13-0 run to start the second quarter and take a 26-11 lead. The Dogs fought back to cut the lead to 4 at the half and even led in the second half before Jeff pulled away at the end. The Bulldogs were led by Ryne Carr with 13 points and Erica Lesch with 11. Lindsey Dall had 9 points and 9 rebounds. BBurg only has one game this week and that game is at McCutcheon on Wednesday.
