Farragut has been a dominant force so far, but they're in the middle of a mini-slump at the moment. The game between them and the Bearden Bulldogs didn't end well, with the Farragut Admirals falling 74-57. While losing is never fun, the Admirals can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee basketball rankings (they are ranked 59th, while the Bulldogs are ranked sixth).
When it comes to explaining why Farragut lost on Friday, don't look at Parker Lane. Despite the final result, he went 6 of 12 on his way to 23 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Daniel Lanning, who posted nine points.
Farragut's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 13-7. As for Bearden, the win (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 18-3.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Farragut has already played their next contest (against Hardin Valley Academy), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Bearden will challenge Morristown-Hamblen East at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Bearden knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past eight matchups -- so hopefully Morristown-Hamblen East likes a good challenge.
