After dominating the Shelton Highclimbers to begin a climb out of the Narrows League Bridge Division cellar, Olympics boys basketball team couldnt top Bremerton (3-9, 6-12) Thursday, falling 68-55 on the road.
The loss came just two days after the Trojans (2-10, 3-15) put up one of the squads best efforts, topping Shelton at home Tuesday, 66-50.
Against Bremerton, Oly led 28-27 at the half, but the Knights fired off 41 second-half points.
We started out great, hitting on all cylinders offensively, and then struggled mightily for the remainder of the game, Oly coach Tyson Whitfield said. We definitely had our opportunities, but missed too many key lay-ups and couldnt get stops on defense.
Ryan Neal scored 22 in the loss.
