EAST LIVERPOOL For every young team, getting over the hump and learning how to win is paramount for success.
For the East Liverpool boys basketball team, those circumstances are no different. The Potters fell to Steubenville, 72-66, in a closely-contested game on Friday.
The Potters previously lost to Big Red on Dec. 30, 64-63.
Steubenville moves to 10-3 and has won seven straight contests, while the Potters fall to 6-3.
“Steubenville is extremely good and extremely athletic,” East Liverpool coach Nate Conley said. “They work hard and they rebound the ball well. I thought we played solid through three quarters. I thought we played really good basketball for three quarters but just didn’t get that offensive rebound when we needed to.”
