Second half struggles doom TV

By Becky Walz,

Consistency was an issue Tuesday night as the Turkey Valley boys’ basketball team (6-4, 5-3 UIC) fell to North Fayette Valley (6-4, 6-2 UIC) at home, 69-50.
Initially the Trojans got down 11-4 in the first quarter before finishing the period on a 7-0 run to tie it up 11-11. While the second quarter was won by the TigerHawks, TV only faced a seven-point deficit, 32-25. The turning point in the contest was the third frame were NFV pulled away 53-32, a shortfall TV couldn’t recover from.

   “I liked where we were at halftime despite not playing and rebounding well but we were only down seven. The third quarter got away from us as we didn’t shoot very well. They played well and we didn’t match it,” said Coach John Izer.
   Noah Hanson had the hot hand, scoring 15 points to lead the Trojans to accompany six rebounds and three steals. Calvin Bodensteiner was next with 11 points and seven rebounds. Putting up eight points and having four steals was Oliver Schmitt.
   The Trojans are at South Winn Friday, Jan. 13, at 7:30 p.m., and are at Clayton Ridge Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 7:30 p.m.
