The Switzerland County Pacer boys varsity basketball team participated in the Jefferson County Invitational Tournament last Tuesday and Wednesday, and although the Pacers came out 0-3 on the tourney, Coach Travis Wrightsman said that his troops battled the entire session.
“Overall, we struggled in the tournament,” Coach Wrightsman said. “Bryce Turner and Ben Hicks were both out with injuries in the Danville game. We struggled to make shots in all three games. I thought our kids played hard and competed in the tournament.”
GAME 1:
Switzerland County 32
The opening round game was tough enough, drawing Class 3A #9 Danville, but without key starters Turner and Hicks, the Pacers were undermanned from the outset.
