The Belton Freshman White Boys Basketball team suffered a tough home loss to the Manor Mustangs, 46-40. The Tigers started strong and built an early lead but ultimately could not maintain the advantage against a resilient Manor team. Defensively, L. Thiem provided huge stats, complemented by his 6 points on offense. The team also benefited from the all-around influence of T. Lundberg, who dominated the boards and added 8 points.

Offensively, M. Courey was instrumental, handling the ball well and creating opportunities for others, while securing 7 points for himself. Though the Tigers lost the lead, the combined defensive effort from Thiem and the ball-handling and rebounding prowess of Lundberg and Courey demonstrate key strengths that the team can build upon as they continue through the season.
