It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact the Tennyson Lancers can now relate to. They fell 69-59 to the Jaguars on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, Tennyson can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 768th, while International is ranked 266th).
When it comes to explaining why Tennyson lost, one person who can't be blamed is Larrie Noble. Despite the final result, he scored 22 points along with eight rebounds. Noble is on a roll when it comes to points, as he's now scored 18 or more in the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Matthew Lorje, who scored ten points along with five steals.
Tennyson has traveled a rocky road recently having lost seven of their last eight contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 15-12 record this season. As for International, the win (which was their 15th in a row) raised their record to 23-5.
