The Southeastern Lions basketball team opened their road slate at the Henderson State University on Saturday. The game kicked off the Southern League Conference (SLC) season for the Lions, who came into the game with a 2-0 record after wins against non-conference opponents.
Despite a strong start, the Lions faced tough competition from the Henderson State Reddies. The Reddies came out strong and built a lead early in the game, holding off the Lions’ attempts to make a comeback. The Lions fought hard throughout the game, but ultimately fell short, losing to the Reddies by a final score of 85-72.
The loss was a disappointing start to the SLC season for the Lions, who had hoped to continue their winning streak. However, they showed resilience and determination throughout the game, never giving up even as the Reddies pulled ahead. Head coach, John Smith, praised his team’s effort and spirit, despite the defeat.
The Lions will look to bounce back from this loss as they continue their road slate in the SLC. With the season still young, there is plenty of time for the team to regroup and refocus for their upcoming games. The players are determined to learn from this setback and come back stronger in their next game.
The Southeastern Lions will next face off against the Southern University Jaguars in another SLC matchup. The team is eager to put this loss behind them and show their true potential on the court. Fans are encouraged to come out and support the Lions as they aim to get back on track in the conference standings.
