When the chips were down, the Lisbon boys’ basketball team never gave up.

The Lions were behind 58-50 against Calamus-Wheatland with less than three minutes to go Friday, Dec. 13, in the Lions’ Den.

“We were able to get a couple steals that led to points along with some key offensive rebounds that allowed us to cut into their lead,” Lisbon coach Levi Montague said. “Jackson Powers had a steal and Tyler Sauser had a big defensive rebound down the stretch.”

Lisbon won, 61-58. Overall, the night belonged to senior Grayson Wollum, who had 36 points, eight rebounds, five assists and six steals.

Down the stretch, Wollum had “two steals that led to four points, an offensive rebound that led to two made free throws, and an assist to Ian Whittenbaugh for two more points.”

Sauser and Powers each added seven points for Lisbon (2-2).

Things didn’t go quite as well Monday, Dec. 9, in a 74-34 loss to Regina at Xtream Arena in Coralville.

Regina shot 55.4 percent from the field (31 of 56).

Grayson Wollum led Lisbon with 12 points.

“Not a great night, but the guys did respond well with some better practices last week,” Montague said.

A Saturday, Dec. 14, game with Tipton was postponed due to weather.
