If Berea-Midpark was riding high fresh off their 86-21 takedown of Valley Forge last Tuesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Berea-Midpark Titans were dealt a 115-88 defeat at the hands of the Mentor Cardinals on Friday. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game last Tuesday (86), the Titans still had to take the loss.
When it comes to explaining why Berea-Midpark lost, don't look at Tyson Clay. Despite the final result, he went 13 for 23 en route to 33 points plus three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Andre' Alexander, who went 6 for 12 en route to 15 points plus five assists and five rebounds.
Mentor was led to victory by Ayo Olulami and Tony Katava. Olulami went 8 for 11 en route to 25 points plus seven rebounds, while Katava went 8 for 12 en route to 21 points plus eight rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Katava a new career-high in three-point shooting accuracy (75%). Another player making a difference was Kobe Frasure-Azzano, who went 9 for 17 en route to 19 points plus eight rebounds and five assists.
Berea-Midpark now has a losing record at 1-2.
