LOWELLVILLE — The Lowellville boys basketball team didn’t have any trouble finding the basket in their 93-46 win over Mineral Ridge Friday night.
The Rockets (10-10, 5-4 ITCL) connected with the hoop 34 times, 10 of which were 3-pointers, and went 15-16 from the line.
“When you make shots, the game is more enjoyable and you don’t think about the negativity. I feel it gives us more confidence on defense and with one another,” Rockets junior Alex Mamula said. “When we make our shots, we are a dangerous team and the more shots we make, the more energy we build up.”
While the Rockets led most of the game, they trailed 18-16 after the first quarter. The Rams (1-17, 1-8) hit four 3-pointers in the first eight minutes.
