If Danvers was riding high fresh off their 70-47 takedown of Gloucester last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Falcons had to suffer through an 89-52 loss at the hands of the Beverly Panthers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Panthers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 80-36 on January 5th.
Danvers' loss came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Connor Ditomaso, who shot 58% from the field on his way to 21 points. Luca Tirella was another key player, putting up ten points and five boards.
Danvers' defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 6-7. As for Beverly, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season.
Danvers has already played their next matchup (against Saugus), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. As for Beverly, they will head out to challenge Swampscott at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Panthers will be up against the Big Blue's rather soft defense (which has allowed 49.62 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
