Smyrna unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They fell 60-48 to the Centennial Cougars on Tuesday. The Bulldogs just can't catch a break and have now endured ten defeats in a row dating back to last season.
Smyrna's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Elliyon Kinzer, who posted 12 points. The dominant performance also gave Kinzer a new career-high in offensive rebounds (four). Tyreque Mccarver was another key player, posting 12 points in addition to five assists and two steals.
