Coming off of a loss last week, the young RBS Bulldogs were looking to change that as they faced the Yellow Jackets. The Bulldogs started out great with getting the tipoff and scoring the first basket of the game. The Bulldogs looked great during the early minutes of the game, but the momentum of the game changed rapidly. The team’s chemistry seemed to fizzle quickly. The Bulldogs were plagued with turnover after turnover. Their offense was not able withstand the offense of the Yellow Jackets. The Bulldogs just couldn’t seem to score, although, it wasn’t a lack of shooting the ball. The game ended with the Trousdale Yellow Jackets defeating the RBS Bulldogs by thirty points making the score 42 to 12. Individual scoring for the Bulldogs was Jacob Atkins with 2, Austin Smith with 4, Matthew Murphy with 2, Mason Hix with 2, and Keaton Comer rounding out the score with 2.
