After trailing by as much as 15 points during Monday’s pre-conference varsity basketball game the Roughriders made a come-back effort late in the third period. Marquez Hall sank a free throw with 50 seconds remaining and Trecavian Hoyt hit a 3-pointer near the buzzer which sent the game into the fourth quarter with Kilgore still leading but only by eight points with a 39-31 score.

The fourth quarter saw the ‘Riders pull to as close as one single point of Kilgore’s Bulldogs but when the dust settled the Bulldogs had never gave up the lead and they ultimately came away with the 51-43 win.

The Roughriders will travel to Tyler Chapel Hill on Friday, December 18, 2020, for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff at Bulldogs Gymnasium.
