Baltic slides past Parker boys

---

After dropping their first game of the season, the Pheasants found themselves in Baltic on Tuesday, Dec. 15.

With Baltic having a very experienced line up which included 11 seniors, one junior and one freshman the Pheasants had their hands full. The game started out with each team matching one another point for point, but the Bulldogs started to take advantage of Parker turnovers and Baltic slowly started to climb ahead.

In the second quarter, Parker outscored the Bulldogs in the last minute of the quarter after Josh Meyer hit three consecutive shots to pull the Pheasants within two points at the half.

In the third quarter, Parker began to get into foul trouble and had to bring players off the bench to fill in for two of Parker's main scoring threats in Ryan Preheim and Alex Dysthe. In the fourth quarter with the starting lineup for the Pheasants back in, Preheim continued to let it rain and dished in a three pointer with a minute thirty left on the clock to pull Parker within eight. That was all the offense Parker had as they then went on to lose 39-51. Preheim led the offense dishing in 16 points while Dysthe and Meyer had nine and seven points respectively. Meyer also had seven rebounds while Ian Collins had 10.

The Pheasants next took on Alcester.
