Lake Holcombe’s boys basketball program continued on with the season, facing off with a couple tough conference foes.

Feb. 14 vs. New Auburn conference (L 80-51)

The Chieftains headed to New Auburn for the showdown, but went into halftime trailing by under double digits.

“…But, they couldn’t get the ball to fall in the second half…” said coach Joy Webster.

The Trojans claimed the win, 80-51.

Sophomore Brian Strzok, senior Harley Schroeder and sophomore Ryley Craker all hit double digits, scoring 13, 12 and 11 points, respectively. Junior Taye Yeager added 9 points, and sophomore Trent Lee and freshman Tyler Hattamer rounded out the scoring, with 4 and 2 points each.

Feb. 16 vs. Prairie Farm conference (L 98-45)

A couple days later, Prairie Farm came to call, where offense was an issue. The Chieftains were down by 31 points at halftime and never could catch up, dropping the game, 98-45.
