The clock struck midnight on the Pilot Point Bearcats boys basketball Cinderella season, with the Bearcats losing to the No. 1 ranked Dallas Madison Trojans, 84-42, on Tuesday night.
The Bearcats kept things close early, but the Trojans used their length and athleticism to overwhelm the Bearcats in the second half and left the arena with the bi-district championship.
“Our kids played hard, but [Dallas Madison] is really athletic,” said Jeff Price, Pilot Point head boys basketball coach. “Things got away from us there at the end of the second quarter. … If we could have kept it to 8-10 [points], I think we could have made a better showing in the second half, but I was really proud of our kids’ effort, which is something they did all year.”
