Reading unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a 37-33 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Morenci Bulldogs. The Rangers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bulldogs apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in January.
Several Rangers players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Brayden Wright, who went 5 for 12 en route to 17 points plus five rebounds and three steals. Wright is on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in the last nine games he's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Carter Bassage, who posted eight points along with seven rebounds.
Coincidentally, Reading and Morenci will both be playing Blissfield the next time they take the court. Morenci will host Blissfield at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, while Reading will head out to face them at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
