Sullivan basketball took their third loss Saturday 52-28 versus the 3-0 Jersey Community Panthers.  A tight game early got away from the Redskins after junior guard Brett Tuttle exited in the second quarter with a lower leg injury.

The matchup pitted Sullivan alum and Panthers head coach Stote Reeder against his brother Sullivan head coach Chet Reeder.  Sullivan’s coach reflected on the rivalry after the game, “It is fun and it is tough because one of us has to lose, and we are each other’s biggest fan.  But it is fun. This is the third time we have done it after going down there last year.”

Sullivan took advantage of a low scoring first quarter with a long two pointer from Queintan Britton at the two minute mark that gave the Redskins a 7-6 lead.  Jersey responded with a layup as time was expired to led 8-7 after one period of play.

Sullivan opened up the second quarter with back to back turnovers before Tuttle hit a runner with six minutes left to bring Sullivan within three points at 12-9.  Tuttle was then forced to exit the game due to injury. The loss proved to be costly with momentum turned towards the Panthers.       Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
