The Lisbon varsity boys basketball came back last week after some time off with a win followed by a pair of losses, all on the road.
The victory on Tuesday against Midland raised the team’s record to 5-4, but the two losses saw the record slide to 5-6.
Tuesday, Jan. 3The sole win during the week for the Lions came in the team’s first game back from break, with a 55-43 victory over hosts Midland Eagles.

The third period belonged again to Lisbon, with the team coming out on top of a 22-9 margin and taking a 42-27 lead into the fourth. It was a deficit the Eagles could not fight their way back from.
The Lions’ shooting was a difference-maker in the game, with the visiting team connecting 43.5 percent while the Eagles shot just 25.9 percent.
Lions junior Michael Gadberry was again instrumental on offense, posting 23 points, with 15 of them coming from behind the three-point stripe.
Luke Czarnecki put up 13 points, and led both teams in rebounds with 12. The senior also contributed a block and a steal.

Czarnecki and Gadberry led all scorers in the contest with 19 points apiece. Czarnecki also nabbed 10 rebounds and two steals in the effort. Gadberry pulled in three rebounds and two thefts.
