“We had two rough quarters where we only scored four and seven and kind of got away from doing the little things that made us successful,” Loggers coach Chris Ferrier said.

“We were in the ball game the entire time just had some lapses that made us end up on the short end of the scoreboard.

My guys played really hard, they play so hard for me, it’s so nice to have a group of guys who do their best to do whatever I ask of them,

KC Spencer led the Loggers with 17 points and also had four steals.

“KC was fantastic, he scored 17, all in the second half after fighting a little foul trouble in the first half,” Ferrier said.

“But he really carried us in the second half.”

Eric Emery added seven points and 13 rebounds for Crescent.

“We got some good minutes from Kylan Scheid and some good defense from Kyle Buchanan,” Ferrier said.

“We’re coming around, starting to get a few more baskets to go down and we will be fine.”
