Council Grove takes a loss at Burlington
Tue, 02/25/2025 - 12:19pm
The Council Grove High School Braves were not able to break out of their rough patch on Monday as the team picked up their third straight defeat. They took a 58-50 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Burlington Wildcats. “We found ourselves in a battle all night vs the 17-3 Wildcats. Burlington has a ton of kids that can put the ball in the basket and I felt our guys did a great job of defending their actions for the most part. Our 23 turnovers were a problem in the game and we have to do a better job valuing each possession and not force a pass or force a shot on the offensive end of the floor. Those turnovers ultimately were a difference in the game. We did a good job rebounding, we didn’t get back in transition early, but the squad fixed that in a hurry and stopped the Wildcats from any easy run-out points and made them play against our defense.
