The Jaguars traveled for their second road game in a row, and lost to the Bonner Springs Braves, 54-45. At halftime the team seemed to have the game closed out, leading 30-20, but there was still another half to play.
In the third quarter the Braves outscored the Jaguars 13-9, slowly edging their way back into the game, but then in the last eight minutes of the game they outscored the team, 21-6 concealing the victory.
Junior forward Nathan Stacy led the team in scoring and rebounds with 11 points and 14 rebounds, recording a double-double. Right behind him in scoring was other junior forward Brett Hamilton with 10 points.
“I felt that we played the same as we played the first time [against Bonner Springs] and we thought we had the game won, so we stopped playing as hard,” Hamilton said.
Freshman Patrick Muldoon came in off the bench and scored a career high, nine points.
“It was a rush. [It] felt like a normal game, I didn’t feel pressure that I normally do when I enter varsity games.” Muldoon said.
The team played again on Tuesday, Feb. 14 against the Basehor-Linwood Bobcats and lost, 87-54.
