Basketball Game Recap: Massac County vs. Carterville

After flying high against Anna-Jonesboro last Friday, the Carterville Lions came back down to earth. Carterville came up short against the Massac County Patriots on Saturday, falling 59-52. The result was an unfortunate reminder to the Lions of the 62-53 defeat they experienced in the two teams' previous head-to-head last month.

Carterville's loss pushed them down to 12-13. The win makes it two in a row for Massac County and bumps their record up to 21-5.
