Loggers' rally comes too late

On Friday night, the Loggers outscored the Bulldogs 16-6 in the fourth quarter, but the rally wasn’t enough to overcome a large deficit. The Loggers lost at Whitefish 41-49.

Libby coach Josh Bean said his team had a good start to the game. “Then we had a let down in the second quarter to dig ourselves a hole going into half,” he said.

Bean added “Our kids have done a great job all year of coming back and making it a two or three possession game.  We did that again, but didn't have enough to get over the top.”

Bean also said the Bullgogs did a good job of taking away the Logger’s inside game.                                                    The Loggers' Jonny Cielak scored a game-high 14 points and hit 4 of 7 3-pointers. Collin Johnson chipped in with 11.
