Boys basketball team can’t solve Fond du Lac

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 01/04/2024 - 03:56

Just out of arm’s reach.

Middleton’s boys basketball team never fell behind Fond du Lac by a large margin in last Friday night’s non-conference match-up. But the Cardinals just couldn’t grab hold of victory either.

The result was a 68-56 loss — Fond du Lac finished with an 8-2 run over the final 2 minutes thanks to Middleton having to foul in an attempt to extend the game — that has the Cardinals going back to the drawing board despite a 6-2 record.

“It feels like when we needed that little bit of extra energy tonight, we just didn’t have it,” Middleton coach Kevin Bavery said. “As a coach, I just felt like they were better prepared and they were more disciplined. And they were tougher on the ball defensively.

“They did all those things that we work on and talk about but they just did them with a passion. We’ve got to find that energy, whether things are going well or not.”
