Basketball Recap: Federal Hocking Takes a Loss

It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Federal Hocking can now relate to. They lost 91-69 to the North Adams Green Devils on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Lancers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 767th, while the Green Devils are ranked 206th).

Federal Hocking has also been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 11 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-19 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.5 points over those games. The win (which was North Adams' seventh in a row) raised their record to 18-5.

As of now, neither Federal Hocking nor North Adams have any future games scheduled.
