It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Bellmont can now relate to. They lost to the Marion Giants on the road by a 75-56 margin on Tuesday. The Braves were not able to make up for their loss to the Giants from their previous meeting back in February of 2018.
Marion got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Kobe Johnson out in front who posted 11 points in addition to five assists and three steals. Johnson has been hot recently, having posted three or more steals the last four times he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Logan Barnes, who shot 47% from the field to rack up 17 points and seven rebounds.
Bellmont has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's still a better percentage than their 5-18 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.8 points over those games. Marion now has a winning record of 12-11.
Bellmont does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Marion, they will take on Heritage at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Marion knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past ten contests -- so hopefully Heritage likes a good challenge.
