Peabody-Burns boys' basketball team suffered two league losses this past week. They were defeated Tuesday by Berean Academy, 55-39. Then on Friday, they lost to Inman, 59-44.
The PBHS Warrior offense could not stop the first-quarter assault of the Berean Warriors and were able to generate only seven points. The PBHS team was down 20-7 at the end of the period. Isaac Good had three with Michael Unruh and Adam Carroll adding one basket each.
The offense picked up slightly in the second with treys from Caleb Good, Tyler Litton, and I. Good. C. Good also hit two at the free throw line. The gap was 20 at the half, 38-18.
The PBHS squad continued to struggle on offense in the second half. Mario Nava, Job Hilliard, and Jason Carroll had four each in the half. C. Good and Derrick Simmonds chipped in three each. Adam Carroll added a free throw to round out the Warrior scoring, but it wasn't enough and Berean took the win.
In Friday's game against Inman, the Teutons took a nine-point lead in the first four minutes of the homecoming contest. C. Good had all seven points in the first period, leaving the Warriors down 23-7 at the buzzer.
The defense picked up in the second period to hold the Teutons to nine. The PBHS offense generated 12 in the period with C. Good pacing the team with six while Unruh put in four. A. Carroll added three with J. Carroll chipping in one. The Warriors narrowed the gap to 10 at the half, 31-21.
The offense continued to have trouble in the second half. C. Good had 12 in the half. I. Good added four. A. Carroll, Hilliard, and Unruh put in two each. Simmonds tossed in a free throw to finalize the Warrior scoring. The Warriors could not overcome the assault of the Teutons, however, and were defeated, 59-44.
Up next, the Warriors will face two more league opponents taking on Central Christian at home and Ell-Saline in a road game.
