Font ResizeBIG SPRING - On a neutral court, the Waynesboro boys basketball team suffered from poor shooting in the second half and was beaten by East Pennsboro, 64-51, in a non-league game.
The Panthers started the game on an 11-2 run, but the Indians (6-13) quickly bounced back and were up nine at halftime.
"It seemed like it was just a game of runs," Waynesboro assistant coach Travis Hardman said.
One of those runs came in the opening minutes of the third quarter, when East Pennsboro started on a 10-0 scoring spree. The Indians shot just 5-of-24 (20.8 percent) in the second half and were outscored 24-11 for the Panthers to secure the victory.
"Once again, we just started cold in the third quarter," Hardman said. "They opened up strong, and we didn't shoot well in the second half at all."
Tim Ingram led the Indians with 10 points, and he was also the team's leading rebounder with seven. Cole Warrenfeltz, Shaquill Smith and Devonte Montgomery each added eight points to help the Indian effort.
Waynesboro is now on a three-game losing streak.
