THE DANVILLE BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM’S TREK TOWARD A CLASS 1A STATE TITLE HIT A DEAD-END THIS MORNING, WHEN THE BEARS LOST TO STORM LAKE ST. MARY’S, 61-55.

EVEN THOUGH STEVEN SOUKUP SCORED 38 POINTS, DANVILLE SHOT JUST 16% FROM 3-POINT RANGE, NORMALLY ONE OF THE SQUAD’S STRENGTHS, AND THE BEARS’ OVERALL SHOOTING PERCENTAGE WAS ONLY 30%, AS THEY MISSED SHOTS THEY’VE MADE ALL SEASON WITH EASE.

DANVILLE WILL PLAY IN THE CONSOLATION GAME TOMORROW MORNING, WHICH WILL GIVE THE SCHOOL A 3RD OR 4TH-PLACE FINISH AFTER TWO STRAIGHT SECOND PLACES.

TODAY’S LOSS WAS DANVILLE’S FIRST OF THE SEASON.
