Marcellus unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a 51-43 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Lawton Blue Devils on Tuesday. The Wildcats have struggled against the Blue Devils recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.

Several Wildcats players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Abram Coffey, who scored 13 points in addition to two steals. The dominant performance also gave Coffey a new career-high in three-point shooting accuracy (38%). Parker Adams was another key player, going 5 for 12 en route to 11 points plus four steals.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Marcellus will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Decatur at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Lawton has already played their next match (against Marcellus), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
