It was a tough night at Lindsborg for MMS boys’ basketball team.

The A- and C-teams fell to the Vikings, however the B-team improved to 7-2.

Jordan Hett scored seven points and Patrick McCarty added four, but the A-team lost, 38-19.

Trailing 14-4 after the first quarter, the Wildcats never mounted a comeback.

“We seem to be in a scoring slump right now,” said head coach Kelly Robson. “We just can’t seem to put the ball in the basket.”

It was the fourth loss in a row for the team after starting out 5-0.

Trever Kinnersley’s 14 points and staunch team defense led the B-team to a 37-6 victory.

The Wildcats held the Vikings scoreless in the first half, and the starters were pulled after MMS led 37-2 after three quarters.

“We completely dominated the game in all areas,” Robson said.

Caleb Williams added eight points for Marion in the victory.

The C-team (4-2) tried to mount a fourth-quarter comeback, giving up just one point in the final frame, but still lost, 21-15.

Colton Jeffrey led MMS with five points, but a scoreless third quarter did-in MMS.

“The effort is there, but we have trouble scoring,” Robson said.

MMS will play Jan. 22 at Reno Valley.
