Sometimes the hole is just a little too deep.
Tipton built a big lead Thursday, Nov. 30, and downed Lisbon boys’ basketball 89-77 in a non-conference battle in Tipton.
The Lions won their two other games last week, topping East Buchanan 70-56 on Tuesday, Nov. 28, and defeating Prince of Peace 75-65 on Friday, Dec. 1, in Lisbon.
“We’ve got to play with emotion, but not too much,” Lisbon junior Grayson Wollum said after the Tipton game.
The Lions built an early 19-11 lead, forcing the Tigers to call a time out late in the first quarter. But Tipton went on a 24-5 run after that, forcing Lisbon to call time out with 2:55 left before halftime, trailing 35-24.
“We gave up a lot of offensive rebounds, and that leads to a lot of extra possessions,” Lisbon Coach Levi Montague said. “And you can’t do that against a hot-shooting team, and Tipton was tonight.”
The deficit got up to 16 points out of halftime, but Lisbon rallied. The Lions cut the lead to five, 62-57, with a driving layups from Wollum and Devin O’Brien near the end of the third quarter.
But the Tigers made 12-of-16 foul shots from that point, cooling off any Lion rally.
“We couldn’t quite get over that hump,” Montague said.
Tipton senior Preston Daedlow finished with a game-high 27 points.
Michael Gadberry and Daylin Schaefer each had 19 points to pace Lisbon, with all five starters reaching double figures. Wollum added 17 points and nine rebounds, and Mason Lehmer and O’Brien each added 10 points.
“It is nice to be in those situations early in the season,” Montague said. “We kind of learn who we are late in games when things get tight.”
In the season-opener, Lisbon got up early on East Buchanan and led 34-21 at halftime.
Wollum led the Lions with 26 points, Schaefer had 19 points and O’Brien added 17.
Against Prince of Peace, the Lions overcame a 37-point game from junior Hakeal Powell.
Wollum finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds, Schaefer had 18 points and seven rebounds and Gadberry added 16 points.
