BASKETBALL

Berkmar 57, Dacula 49

Dacula High School boys and girls basketball teams made up snowed-out games at  Berkmar High Saturday night.

The boys had a disappointing night as they fell 49-57 to the Patriots.  The loss drops their overall record to 9-9.  Leading scorers for the Falcons were Xavier Okoro who had 17 points and an impressive 14 rebounds.  Shay Agboola chipped in with 12 points and 3 rebounds.

The Lady Falcons also fell short, losing by a score of 52-64.  Khalea Wallace had an impressive overall game scoring 14 points, dishing out five assists and adding five steals.  Megan Bush contributed nine points in the losing effort. 

Dacula started slow and found themselves in a 10-0 hole to start the game, but the Lady Falcons fought back well, even leading at one point in the second quarter.  The game was put out of reach however when the Lady Patriots went on a 11 point run early in the second half leaving Dacula with a 4-14 record.
