Elk Basketball
Following a 61-55 non-district loss to Birdville Tuesday night, Burleson boys basketball coach Joey Martin said his team has a long way to go.
The Elks (1-2) made too many mistakes Tuesday night to pull out a win.
In the final three minutes Birdville outscored the Elks, 9-5, to escape with a win.
“Turnovers and what I call boneheaded plays cost us tonight,” Joey Martin said. “If we can eliminate those it would give us a better chance to win. The kids played hard but they have to be a little smarter as far as their basketball IQ goes.”
Trailing 52-50, Burleson’s C.J. Anderson led a run that put the Elks up 54-52 with 2:10 to play. Anderson hit a pair of free throws then turned a steal into a layup and two point lead.
The lead didn’t last long as Birdville’s Joshua Joe, who finished with nine points, hit his third three-pointer of the night for a 55-54 lead. The Hawks finished out the game by going 6-for-6 from the free-throw line.
Sam Martin paced the Elks with 20 points. The senior made four three-pointers. Sidney McFail scored 13 points for Burleson.
Birdville’s Trevon Hester tallied 20 points and Jalen Jackson added 16 points.
Burleson hosts North Forney Tuesday night.
