CLARKSBURG – A very bad second quarter doomed the Buckhannon-Upshur junior varsity Buccaneers in their contest with the Robert C. Byrd Eagles Wednesday.
The Bucs led by two after the first quarter but were outscored by an 18-4 margin in the second quarter and went on to drop a 58-39 decision.
In that first quarter, Xavier Robinette scored six points while Brody McDaniels, Damion White and Brody Jeran each had two as the Bucs took a 12-10 lead after one quarter.
The Bucs managed just two field goals in the second quarter, one by Jacob Frye and one from Kadyn Baisden, which left them down by a 28-16 score at the break.
The Bucs lost the third quarter by a 20-15 count with Robinette contributing six points, White putting in four points, Colton Warner adding three and McDaniels putting in two.
That left the Bucs behind by a 48-31 scoring heading into the final eight minutes.
The final quarter went to the Eagles by a 10-8 margin with Jeran scoring three points and White and Ian Linger two each and one from Warner.
Kaden Feathers and Jackson Levake each had 11 points to lead the Eagles.
