COLONY — The Crest High boys (9-6) have yet to find the answer to the rut they have fallen into, losing 52-39 against Burlingame Tuesday night.
The Lancers saw their early lead slip away in the second quarter when the Bearcats went on an 18-6 run, securing a lead they would never surrender.
Ethan Godderz hit a three and a layup while Ryan Golden and Karter Miller each went for three points in the first to help Crest take an 11-9 advantage to wrap up the first quarter.
But it was all Burlingame in the second quarter as Roman Bayless hit a couple three’s and Dane Winters knocked down a three and a free throw to take a 10-point lead at halftime, 27-17.
Crest attempted to cut into the deficit when Miller hit a three and a couple of layups and Golden went for three more points in the third but Burlingame’s offense was too much to handle. Drake Skirvan netted a trio of layups and Colby Middleton added four more points.
Crest trailed Burlingame heading to the fourth quarter, 42-28.
Golden scored eight more points in the fourth for Crest but that was about all the Lancers could muster as Burlingame grabbed the 13-point win, 52-39.
The Lancers were led offensively by Golden’s 19 points and Miller’s 12 points.
