Men’s Basketball: 

The men’s basketball team might have had feelings of deja vu Feb. 7–8 after home losses to Nazareth College and St. John Fisher College by 12 and 10 points, respectively.

In the tilt against the Golden Flyers, senior Frank Mitchell scored 25 points, which tied his third-highest scoring output of the season. Junior Keefe Gitto notched his first career double-double as a member of the Blue and Gold. However, the standout performances were too much for the Bombers to handle, as they fell to Nazareth by a final of 76–64.

In the other game, the Bombers had trouble defending St. John Fisher’s sophomore guard, Chaz Lott, who led the scoring with 29 points. Senior Tom Sweeney, juniors Gitto and Max Masucci and sophomore Brad Johanson had at least 10 points for the Bombers. But it was not enough to beat the Cardinals, who won an 81–71 contest at Ben Light Gymnasium.

The pair of losses sends the South Hill squad to a 2–7 record at home and 6–16 for the season, with three games remaining this year.

The South Hill squad will return to action against Elmira College at 6 p.m. Feb. 14 in Ben Light Gymnasium.
