Drummond hoopsters drop pair in Twin Bridges

TWIN BRIDGES – The Drummond basketball teams suffered a pair of road losses Friday, each falling to the host Falcons in Twin Bridges.

The Falcons were most inhospitable in the first half of the boys game, starting with a 26-8 run in the first quarter and leading 48-9 at intermission. The young Trojans were unable to get their game in gear on either side of the ball in taking their second loss to Twin Bridges in as many tries.

Cousins Caleb and Ethan Parke led the Trojan scoring with five points each.

Drummond will be on the road again Saturday as they travel to Philipsburg for their second matchup of the year with the Prospectors of Granite High School.
