The Brownwood Lions’ six-game win streak concluded, and their path to a third straight district championship became much more difficult with a 56-43 road loss to the Stephenville Yellow Jackets in Tuesday night’s 6-4A clash.
The Lions (10-7, 1-1) surrendered the first 10 points of the game and faced an 18-10 deficit after one quarter. After pulling within a point, 31-30, at halftime, Brownwood drew even at 31 only for Stephenville (14-5, 2-1) to finish with 11 of the final 13 points in the third quarter. Down 41-33 after three frames, the Lions were unable to piece together another rally.
Christian Kinzler finished with 16 points followed by Jakob Hataway with 12, Nathan Wheelington, Zach Porter and Michael Felts with four points apiece and Luke Moss tacked on three points.
