The Middlesex High School boys varsity basketball team fell to 0-3 on the season with recent losses to Lancaster and Peninsula Catholic.
The Chargers visited King William on Tuesday, December 10; will host Carver on Friday, December 13; will host King and Queen on Tuesday, December 17; will visit Lancaster on Wednesday, December 18; and will visit Mathews on Friday, December 20. JV games begin at 5:30 p.m. and are followed by varsity games at 7 p.m.
The Chargers battled Lancaster to a 25-25 halftime tie but could not hold off the Devils in the second half and lost 63-55 on November 5 at MHS in Saluda.
“We competed well with Lancaster,” said MHS coach Jon Hatch. “We put ourselves in position but had some fundamental breakdowns that hurt in the end.”
In a 89-52 loss to Peninsula Catholic at Hampton Roads Academy on Saturday the Chargers trailed 14-10 after the first quarter but were outscored 73-42 the rest of the way.
“Against Peninsula Catholic we didn’t come ready to play,” said Coach Hatch.
