Tuesday, the Boys Varsity Basketball team played its heart out in a slugfest with South Lyon, coming up just short in the last minute of action, losing 55-52.

In the final minutes of the game, Nate Bronka hit a 3-pointer to give Lakeland a one point lead, but South Lyon, like it seem to do all night, had an answer and hit a 3-pointer of its own to go ahead by two.  Though Lakeland had a couple of chances in the final 30 seconds, it just didn't happen for the Eagles.

Nsikan Usen had a double-double for Lakeland, scoring 24 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.  Bronka finished with 14 points (4/7 from the arc).

Lakeland's record stands at 5-8 (2-5 in LVC).  The Eagles travel to Walled Lake Northern for a game next Tuesday, January 23rd.
