. That’s what happened, though,
last night in the bi-district clash
with Eenton. The locals just went
haywire in that second quarter,
allowing the Brones to score nine
points while failing to register a
single point themselves. Things
like that happen, however, and it
usually costs, as it did last night.
The Leopards played hard, and
did the best they could, we figure.
Personally, we believe they’d have
fared better had they taken a few
more long shots to loosen up the
Denton defense and had followed
their shots better, especially in the
