The Turner Bears got a rude welcome to United Kansas Conference basketball, falling 85-35 to the visiting Leavenworth Pioneers on Friday night.
The Pioneers held a significant height advantage and used their length in a crushing press defense that limited the Bears’ offense throughout the game.
The Bears saw some success in breaking the Leavenworth press, especially early in the second half, with outlet passes down the side to Reneaux Jackson, who used his speed to finish those plays at the rim.
The loss drops the Bears to 0-5 on the season. They will play next at Lansing on Tuesday, Jan. 8.
TRC Community will hold a Community Blood Center blood drive from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Jan. 5, at the Turner Recreation Commission gym, 831 S. 55th St., Kansas City, Kansas.
The blood drive is in memory of Jessie Gentry.
