Despite a 25-point fourth quarter rally, Belle Plaine’s bid for victory came up a bit short Tuesday night, as the Plainsmen dropped a 56-46 decision at home to Lynnville-Sully. The Plainsmen scored just 10 points in the first quarter, five in the second six in the third against the taller visitors.
Chris Janss finished with 13 points to lead the Plainsmen. He also had six rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot. Ben Ehlen put in 11 points and had two steals. Keegan DeMeulenaere had nine points and five rebounds. Cooper Northrop had four points, two rebounds, three steals and a block. Seivon Steward had four points and seven rebounds. John Long added three points and Kyle Janss had two with two rebounds.
The Plainsmen hit 15 of 49 shots from the field, but just four of 14 three-point attempts. They also hit on 12 of 19 free throws and had just seven turnovers.
Belle Plaine hosts Keota Friday night, then travels to Tri-County on Monday prior to the holiday break.
