It was a good run, but the Greencastle Tiger Cubs unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Friday. They took a 59-47 hit to the loss column at the hands of North Putnam. Greencastle was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as North Putnam apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in January of 2023.

Dobbs hasn't dropped below two steals for three straight games. Madi Plew was another key contributor, scoring five points.
