Harmon 51, Louisburg 45

Louisburg couldn’t have asked for a better start to the Baldwin Invitational on Tuesday as it opened with Harmon. The Wildcats went on a run to start the first quarter and jumped out to a double-digit lead. Unfortunately, Louisburg wasn’t able to keep its momentum as it fell to Harmon, 51-45. Louisburg jumped out to a 16-2 lead in the first quarter, but took a step back in the second quarter to allow Harmon to get back into the game. Despite a back-and-forth third quarter, Harmon used a 15-8 run in the fourth to seal the win. “It was a tough loss,” Louisburg coach Ty Pfannenstiel said. “I thought we played pretty well for three quarters, but got a little bit out of sorts offensively in the fourth quarter. We just turned the ball over way too many times and that has been our Achilles heel.” Senior Kohl Vogel tried to keep the Wildcats in the game as he finished with a team-high 22 points and had six rebounds. Senior Dylan DeShazer just missed double figures with nine points, but also had a team-high seven rebounds.
