After flying high against the Berwick Panthers on Friday, the Lutcher Bulldogs came back down to earth. Lutcher ended up on the wrong side of a rough 71-51 walloping at the hands of Terrebonne on Saturday. Lutcher was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Terrebonne apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in December of 2019.

Smith continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Kavon Garner, who scored 11 points along with four steals.

Terrebonne and Bourgeois will face off at 5:00 p.m. on January 3rd without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Bourgeois knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past 11 matches -- so hopefully Terrebonne likes a good challenge.
